top left has been taken from B I 0/6, B I 0/4 die used & 2 dots later added, B II 2/0 dies were used for 3/0 (bottom left) & 4/0 (bottom right). Dot dating system started from top dots, adding dots above N of One, 1/0, 2/0...so it is quiet possible that before shifting from top dots to bottom dots, there were attempts to make 3/0 & 4/0 before shifting to 0/3 & 0/4.
