The photos are very blurry. Can you please either supply better photos of the back or advise what is stamped on the back case.

Correct me if I am wrong but I see 49 on the case back indicating 1949.  Clearer pictures will be helpful.

Yes, directly above the Case Number 31079, there are the numbers 49. I'l try to upload clearer pictures in the next couple of days.

The earliest 10BCC on record is dated 1946. 

'49' in the caseback indicates 1949.
