Can anyone identify the maker AL? The letters Al are inverted reference the other hall marks

Augustin Le Sage is the most likely candidate for this mark but there is no direct evidence as the register in which the mark would have been recorded (the 1758-1773 Largeworkers' Register) has been lost. However I have previously seen a 1767 piece with a mark attributed to him together with a plain A·L mark similar to the one here.
