WWI Shell Filling and Fuzing Station Mongrams

Hi,

On the 'to do' list is stencilling the 13 and 18 pounder shrapnel shells I've restored. On page 409 of the 1915 Treatise on Ammunition I've found a sample of filling and fuzing stencils:

FUZED
W - 9 - 14
CR
12/13

I may shift the year markings one year forward to make it more 'WWI-ish', but otherwise I shall directly copy it. However, I don't want to have both shells to have identical markings so could someone point me at some alternative filling and fuzing station monograms to substitute for the 'W' and 'CR' above?

Thanks,
Mark
