I don not know the answer to your question personally, but I'm sure the
people on the WWI Modeling mailing list can answer it. I'm forwarding this
message to the list in hopes of getting you an answer.

Sincerely,
Allan Wright

WWI list: Please reply to both the list and Jeff as I don not think he's
on the list.
