The presence of these together doesn't make sense - can you post an image?
The AI mark suggests the store was passed to the Netherlands and inspected by them.
ME - as Ron states
FEB Co - do you have an image?
BCL - British Castors Ltd - do you have an image?

In answer to your previous post, yes, they were the manufacturers.

Hi Tim, image of fins attached. The FEB is too small to photograph easily, just FEB in small capital letters, I think its British.
Cheers Tig.
