Only modern boiler require the pressure to be part of the code. My Hunslet boiler is RMES 90/1.

Nick the requirement for an identity number only became compulsory with the advent of the new test codes in 2005/6. So unless it was a commercially made boiler where the maker would have put his own code on it, it didn't have to have an identity stamped on it at all. Furthermore I think only NAME require that the identity consisted of the club number , working pressure and serial number on boilers. The Southern Federation just require a unique identity. I don't know about the Midland Federation or the 7 1/4 Society though.
