Flea market "Gillette" etched head (Franken?)Tech

So I rummaged around in a local flea market, and found what I think is a Gillette Tech, made in England, with an etched head featuring only the text "Gillette", no diamond around it. The handle seems identical to the 1967 Sportsman Tech according to pics on the mr-razor site. There is no date code. I haven't seen any similar etched head, although I am a DE newbie.

Pics from my iPhone, I couldn't get the etching to show more clearly but there is no trace of any other etching than the letter:

No aluminium, 60 gram total weight. And of course I snapped it up, along with a blue plastic handled Slim Twist, a rather rusty E A Berg straight and a badly bowed natural hone of unknown provenance, all for approximately 9 USD.
