L22a1 / l23a1 - pe8

Hello,
I found pictures of L22A1 demolition charge slab Pe8 on the web but an Euroenco pdf shows Pe8 slabs with markings L23A1.
Is it an evolution of L22A1 ?

More likely than not, however with SAA it now appears that the 'L' number is changed to denote different manufacturers. The PE8 you show was manufactured by NEC which was Nobel's Explosive Company - Now Chemring (Nobel) (hard to ascertain whether the Nobel is still used).
