I believe that the style changed in Oct/November 1944 from Roman to Arabic. It would fit in with your 1944 Mk2. But give us the gun number and it'll certainly date it quite accurately

Next question

An added afterthought....... At the same time, the early Mk3 Bren Guns changed as well.

I've got the change listed as Aug 44, which means a M67 marked Mk2 should have a serial number of RA3500ish to RB6000ish

The Inglis MkII appears to have stayed marked as MkII as one of my MkIIs 1945 Number 15T6949 is marked as such.

I never discovered why we changed from Roman to Arabic. Maybe we liked the Arabs more than we liked the Romans. How times have changed!!!!!!!

'Well, Yeah. Beside's the Road's, Aquaducts & Drainage systems. What have the Romans ever done for Us?'.....................

I think there was a TV series called 'What the Romans did for us'. I didn't watch it, except the bit about paying their Soldiers in Salt, hence salary. I'm glad I'm not getting paid in salt now!
