Was probably a Mark I; it also had the Russian markings. Terry
That would make it a US or Canadian manufactured Mark II or a
Canadian Mark III, which were the only ones with Russian/English
markings. (Britain and Australia had none to spare for export.)

p.s: A friend has an R107 with the bottom panel securing bolt in
place. I intend to measure this to within an inch (2.54 cm.) of
its life the next time I go to London, so I can make three of
them up - I assume you still need one for your set?
