Note - The early 1945 manuals were for export only. Most of the December 1945 manuals appear to been issued in both export and UK editions. They are identical. The only difference is that on the spine of manual on internal pages, where it mentions the outfit number it adds in the word 'Export' or 'Home'. These are noted above by an 'E' or 'H' against the print code. Note that in 1945 due to the requirement to export in preference to home sales, only outfits 1-3 were sold in the UK.
