So hens do have teeth Grin What a find and in South Wales too, Mike found one years ago but I don't personally know of any others.
Way above my pay grade to id, I've never needed to study them Cry...only drool.
One oddity though is that the word PACX around the centre is reversed  Huh which seems a strange mistake to make.
Keep us informed as to what the official id is Wink
