Does anybody know the code designation of British military markings on a Rolleiflex T? ...

W6/WF/1943

The 1943 is not a date because 'T's were not available then. Also there are a number of 'T's with this code

There are Reid cameras with W6/WF/****

I believe this to be a military procurement contract number. "W6/WF" probably meant something along the lines of, "photographic camera" and "1948" was probably the specific number for the contract under which they were purchased.
