I do, in fact, agree. I probably didn't explain myself adequately
Yes, I also think that the first word in the plate is Gral., which, as you very well said, is not only the Spanish abbreviation for "General", but is also pronounced with the "h" English sound when at the beginning of a word. So, I repeat, in that we agree. I only wanted to clarify that in "canonic" Spanish, even in that time (if we keep the hypothesis of late 19th c.), to use "Jral." would have been considered an spelling mistake... or maybe a local variation
Best,
