Yes I've established that the non latching is the norm now. I had only discovered it on a nato Mk6 so just wondered as I hadn't noticed before as reversing the movement is not something I use, so I'd never touched the button really.

But the Nato Mk5 serial number is still on my mind. The stickers over the screw in the battery compartment is still there, so perhaps it is correct. My other Nato Mk5 (which I picked up from Pamphonica) has the usual type of serial numbering that I'd expect.
