My Mk.II is dated 1942 but with no month. It has no Russian markings and is very close to first set made being serial C-127. The pictures in the Mk.II manual show a similar unlingual set. I agree that Russian/English Mk.II sets would date mid 1942 to mid 1943 when it was replaced by the Mk.III set.

There is no production date at all on either the transceiver or PSU of my Mk II, so the best guess I had was late 1942 or sometime in 1943. I see your manual is dated 1 August 1942. Brilliant! Slowly we make progress.
Let the quest begin!
