What are your sources to make it exclusive to those two lots rather than June being a 3rd possibility?

Hans, I think the overview you post has been made by collectors (from French site?)? If so, and I am pretty sure, it will be as close to reality as possible but possibly not complete, as it is based on found examples. You just found proof it is not complete yet ;-). Based on the collectors behind that overview we can assume your LOT number is rare and possibly more will pop up.
9 / 16 cases
It must be considered that it is a 9 stamped upside down, this happens.
I have a 1914 Ross bayonet marked 13/12 , this is imossible and it is a number 2 upside down not a 3,
easily done almost surprizing not more often.
If it were a coin or stamp worth a fortune ~ here , well just an interesting odd thing and adds some fun to it all.
If more turn up then that would verify it - nothing worse than having the only example :banghead:
