Agree Clint

I am mystified by the digit. The upper part looks like a 7 while the lower part looks like a 2.
Or did they switch to letters and we have a Z?

Cheers

Stig,


Given the that the wing partially obscures the figure any answer must necessarily be speculative, but it looks too long to be a zed.Could it be two sevens joined end to end?


Regards,


Clint

Stig,


Here is a tactical '2' of SPABi 60.. Although the lower half of the numeral looks like our machine,the top of the figure is distinctive. So perhap,only perhaps, ruling out a 2 as the figure on 'our' machine.

Anything is possible Clint

But if both had the same SFA number then the tactical code number has changed.
Your opposed digit 7s feels somehow better even if I don't understand the point with it.... :confused:

Cheers
Stig

More likely to be a stylised 3 I think, something like this Slab.
