Thanks, that does help, as do the additional photos which 
make it clear there's nothing especially unorthodox about 
the canons – six in total: two single canons in the plane of 
the large oval loop argent, and four double canons 
perpendicular to it.  I was struggling to see how there 
could be a oval argent from Dalton's published photo, which 
is very clear from the Whitechapel picture.  I also had 
appreciated quite how far into the headstock the argent 
went.
