Dear David, Dear Richard,
This is a Royal Enfield WD/CO engine from contract C/12425 (delivery of this contract started in August ’43, ended in June ’44). The number under the cilinder is a post war restamp, but I have always thought that the “ECO 16 12 45” meant “Enfield Company” plus a rebuild date. It will of course have been “Eastern Command” where this rebuild took place! I have checked this date in an eternal calender though, and it appears to have been a Sunday…
REgards,
Jan
