Would Deschler really have made such a grave error in the marking .. ?!

Note the position of the slash - it does not say M1/52 , but M/152 .

It is a less known pattern but original without a doubt.

What about manufacturer, is it Deschler?
And indeed, / after M looks strange, could it be error or it's such a marking M/ 1 52?
A skull that i posted was detected near Kharkiv and been sold on the beginning of this year as original Копаная кокарда-череп СС - <<VIOLITY>> Auction & Antiques

Now this is an interesting an new anomaly for me.
But, clearly an original skull without a doubt.

Another anomaly in the Deschler aluminum skulls, even more scarce.

Interesting , since the alu version was introduced in 1936 , long after the adding of the prefix " M1 " .

And there is even a 3rd type of LOW MARKING = M1/52 with the slash in the correct place .

All that next to at least 4 different regular markings on the forehead , of ALU Deschlers alone ..
