Re: Mk. XX vs Mk. 20

IIRC sometimes 1942-43, and the change aplied only to future contracts. Why? A wild guess, the war and massive expansion of RAF had meant that smaller % of supply etc officers had got classical education in public schools, so roman numerals were potentially source of misunderstandings which might have had serious consequences.
