I'm fairly conversant with the Commonwealth System of nomenclature, that is the description of items using Number (No.), Mark (Mk.), Star (*), etc, but recently I came to possess a 1" Signal cartridge which piqued my curiosity. Like other red Star cartridges I have, the projectile is an MkXI T (or 11T post-war), but this is marked XI T /L/.
I have observed the use of /L/ in the nomenclature of one version of Universal (aka Bren) Carrier, and also in an Austin K2 Ambulance.
Can anyone explain what it means?
