On the other hand, it takes a pretty keen eye to spot the difference from a few feet away so I wouldn't cast aside that Mk.II just yet.

Exact size of box windows
For the historical record here are the exact measurements of the windows on the box . Original inscription found today while replacing a broken one . Also , it was dated 1/44 . Maybe it’s a seven so that would be 7/44 .

Trademark
Also found the Autolite trademark on the window ! It mentions it is safety glass like in the cars of the day . Two pieces of glass sandwiched together with a thin layer in between to prevent shards of glass injuring users .
