We have seen L3 and L4 on Army and Navy issued Seagulls of this era. No idea what they mean, lost in the mists of time!

SD2380 L3. The first lot of SD's were the P3 and second lot was the L3. And the last lot were the L4. Your is at the beginning of the the L3 range. Probably about 1943. You should have cast tank mounts, plain clutch lever and nipples on port side of box. The stamp on the skegg CIESS stands for Chief Inspector of Engineers and Signal Stores. The first SD's had a batch number but this is not one of them ie Bxxx. Incidentally SD2382 L3 is in South Africa or was a few year ago.
