Len Jordan M53 is a "Victory" ship and Sammelhafen has a photograph of a grey version listed as M53a. Mike Costello published privately a book listing alternative names for Len Jordan models. If your model is painted by Les Hodder, it will have the base painted with the waterline colour. If it was assembled and painted by Santa Rosa, it may have sweeps in one or more lifeboats. Pedestal Models nearly all had the ship's name on corrugated masking tape fitted under the hull. If it is on ebay, ask the seller why he thinks it is a late production model cast by Alan Hodder rather than a Len Jordan cast model.
