Bullet proof glass ID

Hi there
Can any one help with the following
As you can see the sticker states Triplex. The glass part number reads 53x TK
Factory number is 1079-C and the unit is dated May 1955.
The white smudge has a code which may be DH8 or 9 OR B
Sorry its not much to go on. It came with, what I believe, is a set of armoured glass for a Vampire which comprises of a front windscreen and 2 large side panels all of which are still boxed and in pristine condition.
I assume the article below is probably for a similar aircraft as I can’t see where it would belong on a Vampire
Anyone for a challenge??

That does look “single seater”, the side panel looks “squar-er”.

Hi there
Hopefully the pictures attached will help
As you can see, the units are still in their boxes.

Perhaps Venom NF or Sea Venom, single seaters were a slightly different shape.

Would you be able to post a picture of the front windscreen please? Just to be sure it is Vampire and not another similar type.

Many thanks,

If they are single seat, then they would be; slightly!

Hi Bruce
Will PM you when I have full details. The front screen is a single version and very thick. Sorry for the scant info at present but I haven’t got the items at home with me at the moment.
