Thanks David. Did it later become OC 600?

I'm not sure, I suspect that OC600 is the correct term. I think it stands for Oil Compound but the numbers used in British army oil descriptions don't seem to directly relate to anything. Then there is OM13 which is hydraulic oil. The numbers do seem to get bigger with viscosity. OC600 doesn't so much pour as level out.

Default Oc600

OC600 is Lubricating oil, compounded, consisting of 94% mineral oil and 6% rapeseed oil (I think its now called Canola oil). Viscosity range 29 to 32.

OM220 - don't have a listing for that.

The 'C' series oils and compounds are corrosion preventatives that apply a coating to components, either hard or liquid, depending upon the spec. number.
