Weber carburators w/o serial number

[quant]

Normally, I always see Weber carburators with a TIPO and (serial) No below it, like this:

 

 

 

But then I saw another 45 DCOE 15 carb, but looks like without a serial no:

 

 

Can anybody tell me what this "0 G" means ?

 

Also the way "45DCOE   15" is written - compared to "45DCOE15" - differs quite noticeably from the other one with serial no.; any ideas why ?

 

Could that be a 'fake' or re-branded / re-stamped 45 carb ?

Not sure if "OG" translates to Original Gangster in Italian...

 

... guess then it would have been "G O" (Gangster Originale)  😂

The bosses look too shallow for re-stamping. I suspect they’re both legit, just manufactured in different years and/or factories.

Stamps wear out and become obsolete. The upper pic shows two different fonts. The fancier DCOE  15 looks to be from a custom fixed single stamp, whereas the No. looks to be from a 4 selectable digits type stamping. The lower pic shows just the same font used for both Tipo and No., both produced with a selectable character type stamp. (6 character, thus no extra spaces in DCOE15.) Character selectable stamps are more flexible and less cost. Newer carbs all use the selectable style.

 

The lower pic, which I’m assuming is the later production carb, actually looks to have the better mold/casting, based on the quality visible around the EW logo. Molds wear out too..
