Factory marking ID needed

I am restoring an Australian made C239 manufactured by SCC in 1942.
While sanding down the previous owner's coats of paint the original markings appeared. I can read all but one which is the filling factory code, filling date 7/42. I simply can't make out what letters are there. Any ideas?

Do you mean the WAC on the bottom line? There weren’t many filling factories in Australia and I’ve never heard of WAC. If the box was made in Sydney (Sydney County Council electricity), then more likely the filling factory would be MY St Mary’s, Sydney.

No I meant the letters before the date 7/42 in the first photo. I have the same box with WAC 2706 filled by TH date 3/43 but on this box I can't make out what it says before the date.
