Without proof, I understand that is just a code number, to identify the cancelling hammer.
After research, I now tend towards the Figure 1, being an indication of being the Main District Office.
The triangulars, began inserting the numeral 1, (with a period) to Indicate Main District Offices. (SW.1, S.1, SE.1 etc)
Foreign Branch London would be a singular entity, ergo, I doubt very much if a triangular exists with a figure other than "1"
