[Milsurplus] "Mill" typewriter question

[ka8vit at ka8vit.com]

The MILLS we have on the WW2 Submarine USS COD SS-224 are
one-size, uppercase only.
 
In fact, if you look at the hammers with the type on them, there is
only one letter impressed on them.
 
The Shift key only operates the top row of keys with the figures over
the numerals.
 
Here is a link to a photo of the MILL in the radio room.

And below is a link to some videos of the COD.
 
Scroll down to the older videos.
 
There is a three-part, 25-minute tour of the boat and
another video of just the radio room...   and more.
