Based on our three (or four) choices, I'm going w/ 1943 A-11 tentative. Do I have the 4 "choices" correct?
1. Non-conforming
2. Unknown
3. Known
3.a Known Tentative
3.b Known Confirmed
IMO The silver vs silver base issue may not change the model name, as it most likely wasn't named anything different if a very few examples had solid silver cases.
Unless we are concerned that it's a "knock-off" in silver (highly unlikely), or (based on Shawns comments), it was put together from various parts- a silver bezel which was non-military issue /w a military issue case back (non-conforming), one could argue for a known confirmed ID.
