Another R. Wallace mark? 1835 (?)

This is a baby spoon 4.25 " long, I know it needs cleaning but... I realize it is R. Wallace but is not one of the marks posted. According to Replacements Ltd. R Wallace made spoons from 1833 using the nickel alloy formula - Is that what this is? The is no silver plate or sterling marks at all.
