Ah ha!  Another one!  I'd be really interested in any information you can
come up with on this un-numbered block.  I have one of those myself and
couldn't find a thing to even imply any were released without stampings.
The replacement block should be an "XX" I believe, but still has it's
production stamp (I've seen a few of those).
