MRP uses some additional internal stamper IDs for their pressings, e.g. hand-etched A4, B1, C2 - more recently stamper codes have been just numeric: #3, #12, etc. Records with such hand-etched IDs were pressed at Memphis Record Pressing and "Pressed By" will be the correct tag here if these additional etched stampers IDs are present in runout.
