I think its just a batch number. You are correct in thinking that Webley gave up serial numbers on their pistols.
I recently had my Webley senior to bits to give it some TLC, and noticed a number stamped in the frame under the left hand grip pannel. The number is 1149, is this a serial number, or a date stamp? I suspect the latter because I'm pretty sure Webley stopped serialing thier pistols either on the Mk1 or the Pre-war Seniors.
The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

IIRC the three numbers stamped should match (and are just a batch number - no date): 1. end plug; 2. under grip; 3. trigger guard.
