KR ("K"enton "R"edgrave [Managing Director of Sterling]) prefix run from the MkIII (L2A2) & Mk4 (L2A3) commercial Sterlings (approx. c.1955 - 1971)
S ("S"isi Edmiston [Wife of new owner of Sterling]) prefix run from the Mk4 (L2A3) & Mk5 (L34A1) commercial Sterlings (c.1972-1988)

Interesting picture Gil, I assumed Lanchesters would be second line issue by that point in the war.
