Engine number "1"CH or "I"CH for the LongbridgeBN4

My British Heritage Cert tells me that the engine for my BN4 should be"1CH /40757". However when I check the engine plate on the engine, the number begins with "ICH / 40757". Longbridge BN4 owners, could you check please to see if you have the same situation that I have noticed on my BN4. Does anyone know if this is unique with the method that the UK assigned their numbering method?

Just as a side note, the engine number for my BN1 from the British Heritage Cert tells me that the engine number begins with "1B", and that number is what is located in the engine plate "1B"., so I am confused why the two numbering formats would not be consistent?

Thanks for your assistance

Jim -

The engine tag on my '57 Longbridge 100-6 motor also appears as "ICH"
but all UK documentation references "1CH". Maybe some of the British forum members can expand on this diffence.
