y149553 1st December 1920 128
k869550 20 April 1903 27

Are you sure those numbers are right? You'd definitely know. Both of these have a transverse shuttle with large slide plates that slide the other way to normal

EDIT: Just had another look at the pics. The k serial is for the first machine, yes? It's correct - that does indeed look like a 27 (I have one the same), but the y number is possibly missing a digit.
EDIT2: Reckon you're missing a digit. How does model 99 from 27th June 1923 sound?
