Ken, couldn't find #55, but at least the numbering is in the ballpark:

Looks like dezinc, Ken. Just as zinc pest stops the hearts of us train collectors, dezinc stops the heart of model steam folks. It's the zinc in the brass that's trying to get out...not an issue on our models, but in a boiler it eventually leads to pinhole leaks
