Help identifying this 20” vintage Paiste cymbal — possible pre-serial Giant Beat?

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to identify this vintage 20” Paiste cymbal and would really appreciate some help from people who know older Paiste cymbals.
Here’s what I know:
Size: 20”
Weight: 2,147 g
Made in Switzerland
No obvious serial number
I can’t find any surviving model name/label on the cymbal
The stamp appears to be an older Paiste design with “TRADE MARK”, the rays/star-and-crescent design, “PAISTE”, and “MADE IN SWITZERLAND”
It has fairly fine, pronounced radial lathing and a relatively large bell.
The cymbal has quite a bit of age/patina but appears structurally sound but has some quite serious keyholing
I’ve been told the stamp looks very similar to the early/pre-serial Giant Beat stamp, possibly a white-label Giant Beat from the late 1960s/early 1970s. However, the 2,147 g weight seems unusually heavy compared with many 20” Giant Beats I’ve found online, so I’m not confident about that identification.

How my plants looking guys, ignore bottom right cus that was my tester plant (first grow)

The three flowering ones are purple haze autos from Zamnesia and the rest are a mix of 4 different strains from 00 seeds photoperiod (yes I know getting photos and autos in the same tent was stupid but I’m here now so not much I can do)

How much weed should I expect to yield from the 3 flowering plant

The three flowering plants (top left, top middle and centre) are zamnesia #3 purple haze autos in 12L pots

Finally had the time to buy new pots and soil, just transplanted the little guys

Feeding them with shogun nutrients, flowering feed is ph 6.5 and veg is 6.7, gonna get some ph down and get them down to about 6.3 though.

Help

Can someone identify what is happening to my plant?
Looks like leaf septoria or potassium deficiency but I’m really not sure. Could it also be anything else?, humidity is 55% while temp is 23C with good airflow so I don’t see why it would be fungal

How is everything looking?

I have them on a 18-6 light schedule at 23C temp and 55%humidity, I noticed some yellow patches on the big plant and still haven’t been able to identify the root cause of it, potentially fungal??
