That Greenock one is a new one.  What's interesting is not only is the label different but the indented area the label goes into is more rectangular whereas my F AT is squarish (check Clicky's).  I'd accuse the seller of using a sharpie but the key layout looks right.

Is yours a Greenock??

Nope, mine came from the fine people at IBM Lexington.

Also, what's the deal with the Greenock ones having the labels upside-down? Almost all of the 42H1292s from the UK I've seen have their labels the wrong way around.

You drive on the left so your sword arm is closer to the oncoming traffic.

We civilized folk drive on the right so we can hold the reins in our right hand and sit closer to the center of the road, to see farther. Oh, and we have guns so it don't matter which arm is closest to oncoming folk.

We drive on the right in TX, so we can steer with the right hand and drink a beer with the left.  We drive big trucks, so we don't need guns.  It would be kinda inconvenient to grab a rifle off the gun rack, anyway.  We only shoot if you on our property.

We don't drive cars in seattle. we ride little electric scooters because automobiles are for fascists.
