No 68 with strange Mk

[MINENAZ16]

Hello,
Very strange Mk IIII (I assume Mk IV/ Mk 4) for this No68

 

[BMG50]

How unusual.

Today's convention is to show 4 in Roman numerals as IV. In Britain, until at least WWII it was acceptable to use IIII. I've got a Gestetner 68 and it threw me as well.

The alternative Roman 4 is found on No.68 tails made by D Gestetner Ltd (GTL) and Patent Die Casting Co. Ltd (PDC).
