    M6 is the wartime code for Aluminium Bronze Co Ltd of Walsall
    M56 is the wartime code for Cheney & Son Ltd of Willenham

    The M series of codes were issued to Manuafacturers in the Midlands
    BSA Shirley was in the midlands so either of those would be appropriate

    I had an all original BSA '44 No4(T) that carried an M56 coded magazine if that helps?
