I would be interested too as i have one waiting to be stencilled, the only pic i have seen is in an old armourer mag, an article written by J Carlin and all it says is 60 PR Mk I, R/L then a date.
Cheers

Interestingly, theshell configuration plate, contained in that same treatise, shows the top red ring being noticeably thicker than the lower ring. This is the same through all publications up to 1940.
The No. 83 fuze was later replaced by the No.88

All No. 88 fuzes produced during WW1 were conversions from No. 83. Depotman
