Trying to verify date for this gas mask:

At the top of the helmet centered "U S" with a "U" under that,embossed
in the rubber under the chin inside a one inch circle starting at the
top: 12 - 40 LOT B 68 - 2 F (in large script in the center) 4 41
E41 R102; above the circle "C5-2-229"; below the circle "367". On the
cannister: "C" inside an elongated diamond; "USMI-TRAINING E.V.-F-OOT
NO. 75"

Was this manufactured 12/40? and does the large script "F" in the center
mean that "Ford" manufactured it? Dewey
