Can anyone help me to identify the silversmith

I bought this mustardpot some years ago. I'm still not able to find the name of the silversmith.

This is the hallmark set on the inside of the lid. There is a set on the outside of the pot, but the makersmark is rubbed out, but looks like a JHAas well. The first letter could even be a F or a T perhaps.
However there is a Leopard´s head for London and a yearletter t for 1914.
On the inside however there is a different yearletter c for 1918. The lid fits quite wel on the pot and there is no sign of any repare.
Does anyone have an explanation for this difference of 4 years?

Sorry herewith some more answer,

Later replacement of lid or marriage of a pot with a lid ( In Dutch this could have a double meaning)

Hello Oel,

Thank you. I didn´t see the first letter as a P, but you´re right
