FWIW here's some of the fuse types I've found:

AGC 3AG 3AD GLH MTH MSL, none of which I know

for the 1.6A MDL I have
2A "plain", 2.5A "plain", MSL 2A, MDL 2A
as candidates. I guess a slightly higher value is OK when
replacing a slo with a non slo? Also I imagine all of those letter
codes are different blow rates?
