Must have missed that, or do you mean the part number of the backplate? Strangely, starting with 2H, that seems to the best of my knowledge a Dutch temporary part number. Such numbers were used in prototypes and in case production was rushed.

One coil has a normal Dutch number (A3), the other coil and transformer have British numbers (MK).

The date codes 20, 23 and 26 respectively, don't really make sense unless the first digit indicates the year (on the continent it's the last digit). Possibly 1952 in that case.

@stofbj1: could you take a picture showing the remains of the type label on the chassis?
