In my opinion the makermarked one is 123 and the unmarked a 55

I agree signed EK2 is Beck, Hassinger & Co. (=123)

Is it just me or does the 55 have a cast core?

...but unmarked EK2 is so called "8 Variant"

Jarek

looks like I missed this one...
well anyway, does it really have a cast core? or is the paintjob just badly done?

I agree with Jarek
the first a so called 8 variant and the second a 123 type
