I am not sure about the second set of marks.

It is an X for 1897

r date letter is in a round shape, whereas the x is in a square shape

Also there is differences in the letter itself that are obvious that what you show is definitely an x

The date letter looks to be a x for 1897

Date letter is D and is for the year 1866

Maker is R. Carr Ltd,
Carrs of Sheffield (Manufacturing) Ltd,
Hollbrook Avenue, Sheffield

Date letter 1994
