BHM followed by E after the numbers were also gold for Gold seal.
BHM followed by N after the numbers were black and brand new.

BHM 1270 E is mentioned in the extract above but I think BHM 1454 has been cut-off in the extract posted up by Guessworks on TMF. If you contact him direct he may be able to help as his website does not seem to display the Gold Seal engine numbers, only the production engine numbers:-
