Default Broad Arrow Markings

There is a military pocket watch on eBay with a Broad Arrow marking on it. Immediately below the arrow is a "P". Any idea what country that would be? I think a Capital "A" is the Australian marking. Not sure what others are out there.

A broad arrow usually means the UK. Some watches were marked with a "P" for phosphorus dials. A serial number preceded by the letter "A" was a GS MK II watch. Here is a good document on time piece markings courtesy of the WS19 Group.

What is the auction number?
