This is a difficult question, and I am not sure that there is a simple answer.

We see a lot of cases marked only with the "1163" and we see other cases marked "1163 V". I do not currently have enough time to check files, but I do not recall seeing any cases marked "1163T" or "1163MH". So this tells me that when we see the "Sifferts" (1163T) or the so-called "Derek Bells" (1163MH), these cases are marked simply "1163", and they should not have a "V".

Later in their production, I believe that we saw the 11630V and the 11063V cases used for watches that were not "Viceroys", but I am not sure that we ever saw this with the 1163Vs . . . so I would say that in most instances, if the case is marked 1163V, then it should be a Viceroy. I expect that there are exceptions.

I will check further, as time permits, but this is my quick reaction.
