Assistance Sought To Confirm Identification

I located this in a "Vinnie's" store where it was identified as a "Fat Boy". Not being in the mood to correct them, I paid the asking price ($15) and exited. A sonic bath followed up with a clean using an old "soft" toothbrush, followed by a light rub with a clean micro-fibre cloth. Next, a soak in hospital-grade disinfectant, followed by opening doors and standing head-down to allow excess liquid to drain. Finally, a few drops of light machine-oil to lubricate the working mechanism and further light rub with a clean new micro-fibre cloth.

Research indicates it's possibly either a 1949 English "Rocket" or a 1950 "Rocket" from a "Rocket Set No. 51", for both see Reference. I would happily receive confirmation/correction and any additional relevant information.

With the doors closed, the right-hand door sits a fraction proud ( see Image 5 ) of it's opposite number. This difference is consistent along it's entire length. This is a fault I would like corrected. Should anyone care to oblige, I will readily recompense for their services and cover postage, etc.









 
A variation of this -

1953%20Rocket%20HD%201953%20Patent%20Pending-beschriftet-Logo.jpg
 
If is is around 70g, Rocket HD

If about 50g, Rocket 'MD' (my naming)

If about 20g, Rocket LD or 'Paperclip'

The 1949 English "Rocket" and 1950 "Rocket" from a "Rocket Set No. 51" don't have the distinctive 'collar' under the 'neck'.

Nice razor, great shaver!
 
Got around to weighing it this morning on Aldi digital scales ( accuracy ? ). Came in at 72g, overall length 82mm, handle & TTO knob diameter 11mm.

With the doors closed, the right-hand door sits a fraction proud ( see Image 5 above ) of it's opposite number. This difference is consistent along it's entire length. This is a fault I would like corrected. Should anyone care to oblige, I will readily compensate for their services and cover postage each way.
