British makers mark?

I have this mark listed as: J.Lucas Ltd, King St, Birmingham when it was on a 2" mortar fin.
The ID came from someone on a forum.
Catching up with this thread, it is probably not immediately obvious why Joseph Lucas used the Y in a circle monogram.
Amongst other things Lucas made lamps, batteries and electrical items for motor vehicles, as did its two main rivals C A Vandervell and Co., and Rotax Motor Accessories Co. In 1926 Lucas acquired both CAV and Rotax, and used the three names in the signage shown in the images below. The WWII era Y in a circle monogram was derived from this signage.
