First date, and part number of Triplex No. 4 Field cooker


Recommended Posts

A bit stuck.
I thought that the number 44734 on the Triplex No. 4 Field cooker was a patent number, but it's not.
The Triplex itself is a back to front copy of the Fowler Camp stove, but with a dampner at the bottom of the chimney.
 
Searches by myself and British Library have shown that there is no patent for this. There's a 1933 film that shows them, and I'm sure that I've seen the date of 1918 somewhere, but not 100%
So I wonder if 44734 is a military part number, and if so then when did it first appear in any books?
Many thanks
