I got the information that I was looking for - thanks Dean.

I found that the original 55EJ is different than both the Interceptor Reissue nose and the 55B nose. It is sort of halfway between both of them. It has the deeper engraving of the 55B and the longer gun openings of the 55B, but the other etching is a lot more like the Reissue nose. Another difference is that since the 55EJ was a 2-piece nose with a lengthwise split, the engraving works around the split differently than it does on the Reissue.


I think that I can now use one of them as the starting point, and modify it to reproduce the original 55EJ nose for my model K-50 build.
