I believe these were an early model, we had them as part of our vehicle CES,

Thanks this one does say 1975 but the label mentions unleaded petrol so assume its been modified

I had one of these back in the 80's and it said to use unleaded petrol, but this was well before Unleaded was available at filling stations.

Yes that's a puzzle, the instructions for this appear to be on metal and the others a "sticky label" need to source a supplier for the label

NSN  7310-990125-1745 indicates it is an early model.

Following the fitting of a new burner assembly which increased the thermal output, producing cleaner combustion & simpler to operate it was designated 7310-99-139-4087 on a replacement plate.

In this upgrade the brass instruction plate was removed & replaced by a self-adhesive label.

There were three issues of the upgrade. I don't know the actual date of the first issue but it was listed as current in Feb 1981, subsequent issues were Aug 1982 & Sep 1985.

Unmodified cookers were modified to the burner grid from Jul 1989

Just bought another one different manufacturer, needs a bit of cleaning need to find a spare heat spreader plate, think i can see DBG under the matt paint but not sure

[Barrym]

another model with a different burner head, I believe this was a later modification

[fv1609]

Barry presumably it is now 7310-99-139-4087

[Surveyor]

If the weather is good will get the 4 No2 modified stoves out to see the burner head

[Surveyor]

Barry, my Modified stoves all have that burner
