Hi Mark,
This one is a tough one for me too. There are so many makers whose crosses were made i.m.o. with parts struck from dies supplied by S&L, and the differences between these are very subtle. Without a mark, they are hard to tell apart. Some of these makers are e.g. 16, 44, 66, 76, 137, etc. etc. There are a lot.
These crosses are all called the "standard design."
Until George Stimson and Dietrich Maerz come out with their masterwork on EK2s, I think separating these types will be an uphill slog.
So I would call your cross a "standard design." But I do think it might be possible to put a maker's name to it... it would just require a lot of hard work comparing it against all the marked examples of various crosses that are not the "easy ones" (2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 14, 23, 24, 27, 60, 75, 86, 98, 100, etc. etc.).Best regards,
Streptile
