Post by: chopin-liszt on April 15, 2023, 06:07:57 PM: It is Okra, and I suspect the 0 with the slash through it on the bit cut from the side indicates it is a second.
The bit cut from the side would make it a second all on its own.

Okra was founded in 1979 by Richard Golding & Nicola Osbourne. It is continued by
Dean Hopkins and Karinna Sellars.
