Also, it's very clear that the mark was engraved after the bell was 
cast.  So it probably wasn't done by the bellfounder, unless the 
Ordnance Dept cast it themselves.  Are/were there OD facilities which 
might have had the capability to do that?

In the USA, the foundries which made railroad bells, fire engine 
bells, etc., are not generally known to campanologists, because they 
didn't put any identifying marks on their bells.  This bell might 
have come from a similar origin.
