However the peolpe manning the production line probably used the first that came to hand? What is good, is that your title confirms that these stamps were in use in 1916-18 for certain! And I am sure for a few years outside this bracket too?

Oh definently....I have a pre-1908 Royal Fusiliers Militia title with a Gaunt stamp too.
