Hello,

I'm not sure about markings, but look like 4.5 RAM ont this drill round.
What means RAM ?

Apparently, for testing the ram of the feed mechanism. The original Mk. 8, introduced 1971, used hydraulics that proved unreliable during the Falklands War and were subsequently upgraded 1998 onwards with an electrical system.
