Not exactly a horse (or lamb/sheep) but the 1939 Pattern Liverpool Irish WM voided had only got two dies as far as I know - and I've looked at loads, one marked by Firmin and one by Gaunt
If they are not marked the only difference is the presence of two thorns on the shamrock.....!
(The 1908 Pattern has 4 dies as far as I can find....)
The 1908 Lpl Scottish Pattern has, as we know, two parts - the horse etc superimposed on the saltire etc.
I have found different 7 horses and 6 different saltires. They all fit 1 = A etc except D is found on 2, 4 and 5 ! (horse die 2 is the only one identified - by Gaunt)
No wonder that they introduced a one piece badge in 1917 ! (which has elements of 6 and E) and the pipers have a different saltire die....
