Try Forged as opposed to Fabricated.
Note: A Universal MkI and a Universal MkI* are basically the same when it comes to the gunners upper protection plate or "mantlet" Both are forged armour plate (which will break if serious efforts are made to bend it cold)

Note; As Michael R's post came though while I was posting, I now see that they are all forged but that the later ones have a fabricated flap
