This applies to the engine numbers, I'm sure a similar system was used for
other parts. Notice for a Factory Rebuilt unit, the original SN is
overstamped and a number plate attached.
*FRE or FR* - Engine number suffix for "Factory Reconditioned Engine".
These engines often had its original number oblitterated by overstamping,
usually with the letter 'X' and a special plate rivetted to the block on
the vertical face of the boss which carried the original engine number.
This identification plate was used on Standards and Triumphs from the mid
1950's into the 1970's and is equally applicable to the Standard 8 and 10
as it is to the TR6. Visit this link
<http://freespace.virgin.net/w.davies/Plates/FRETR.htm> for a photo of the
plate.
