6Pdr AP Shot Markings

[Matt W]

I'm repainting a 6pdr AP shot, can anyone confirm if the stamped markings on the body would have been repeated in stencilling on the original? If not, were the stampings the only means of identication? Round is dated 2/43.

Thanks

Thanks Weasel, not much stencilling in evidence there, saves me a job!
