Armstrong E? found today

Hi,
Looks like an Armstrong E Mark II judging by the marking.
Armstrong E Mark II graduations were not engraved but were marked by means of a printed slip of paper.
But Mark III was approved in 1867, so I'm wondering why would Mark II still be manufactured in 1871. There is probably an explanation, but I don't know it.
Some of the community experts will probably know.
Infos from that book (available online) :
Cheers,
S.
