The Ammunition Lot Suffix letter is now potentially up to two letters (from letters A to Z, then AA through ZZ). The Ammunition Lot Theater Indicator is an optional code letter indicating the ammunition is destined for an active Theater of Operations. It makes it easier to track ammunition that has been returned to stores from a combat zone.
Ammunition with an "-XC" code letter suffix to its Lot Number was made with steel cases rather than brass and a gilding-metal jacketed bullet. This was a wartime economy measure to conserve copper and zinc. They were made entirely at the Evansville Chrysler (EC) and Evansville Chrysler Sunbeam (ECS) ammunition plant in Evansville, Indiana.
Early US Military ammunition boxes were marked with vertical rectangles or cartridge shapes lll instead. When the symbol was straight it indicated Caliber .30 ammunition and when the symbol was angled it indicated Caliber .50 ammunition. The Lot number was also marked with a "B" suffix for cloth belts or L for metal link belts.
