This is a real rabbit hole to dive down! I have found Smiths MA (with a very stylised MA) fitted to many late 30's motorbikes; and Smiths Chronometric speedos with plain capital M A on them! They all will have unique numeric part nos on the face and and indication (4 digit) of the number of turns . ...

I know that Smiths made 8 day clocks for aircraft during the war. I remember seeing one apparently for a Spitfire advertised at something over £1000 and it was marked A M on the back with a Kings Crown. I imagined that A M stood for Air Ministry?
