A more likely possibility is that this is an imperfectly or partially struck letter. You can see from the photo of the x suffix on my 1937 S/42, that if the top left hand section were missing, it could well be taken for a c. The only way to resolve this question is to ask the owner to take a clearer photograph. Regards
