Does it have the pat-app or pat no baseplate? Which plastic wheel strip color? -David

[johnboy]

The labels are referred to as wide and narrow but the few models I have show three distinct sizes with the word "Police" varying in font and dimensions. Are there any more?

Here is one with bigger labels , also my other English MB 20's (E)

Just to show the slight adjustment of the positioning of the copyright symbol and year.

...and these areas I have highlighted. This is more evidence there were at least two sets of tools to cast this baseplate component or one set had to be re-maid to replace a damaged set and there may be a date difference between the two models you have shown!

Sharp eyes Ghosty! I don't know the timeline of these though, I've got six (police and ambulance) with the same baseplate and one (site engineer) with the other baseplate as shown.

[GHOSTHUNTER]

The model with the extra space between the Copyright 'C' and '1975' date seems to be the more common type baseplate, but can not comment any further as I don't know this model, just know of it.
