I have never seen that on anything !!  The numbers are style, color numbers ect usually !!  They really don`t help much !!

Oh dear.... Large sigh from me then. I will have to resign myself to just loving it regardless. I would have loved to age it roughly. I'd guess it by the style of the house, numbers style etc as 1910-20. The dawn of "le tack!" lol :-D someone will know some day. Thanks for looking anyway all. (even if your retinas WERE damaged by it)

Here's something that I found on a UK lawn mower site awhile back:

"The Cutwell side wheel mower was sold in the UK in the 1920s and 30s and was manufactured by the Germany company Brill.
However, it would be difficult to tell where it was made by looking at it because, like many overseas products of the period, it was simply marked "Foreign". There are various reasons for this. Up to this time most mowers sold in the UK were either British or American and customers tended to buy products made in these countries. Import and export restrictions were imposed from time to time and this led to confusion in the marketplace. Marking a product as "Foreign" may have been an attempt to confuse the customers. And of course in the 1920s, with the Great War less than a decade beforehand, many people in the UK were reluctant to buy from their most recent enemy."

I agree, interesting.  Have never seen anything marked like this either!
