Sounds like you have enough there to start a couple of restorations!

Ross & Group,
In my opinion the ID or makers plates were made out of brass with a
very thin nickel plating & the lettering is black. In many cases the
thin nickel plating is long gone, but it was there. This also applies
to the patten plate, "Made in England" plate, & the body plate.
I offer a service of restoring the original plates if they are
restorable. Contact me off list if interested.
