Does the outside of the case have any identification plates or disks? Looks like some of the ediswan instruments had a brass disk with a model number on them. -

️Bacon : Rashers of greasy, or crisp fried thinly sliced pig.
️Sausage : the traditional "banger"
️Fried Egg : a fried egg.
EDIT: missed the second element!
The "Butty" is the bread, be it sliced bread or roll, with a "bread grease" (butter, marge, lard, dripping or other similar bread lube) applied thickly so it will melt and run down your fingers and chin (the filings all being hot from the pan / frier).
Giving you:
️Chip butty
️Bacon butty
️Sausage butty
️Egg butty

Without wishing to take this off on another tack, ..but I will, it may be worth mentioning the two aspects of the "butty". It is usually a "*something fried* butty". Where *something fried* is usually one (or more) of:
️ Chips : bulky, thick cut sticks of twice fried potato (French fries outside of places that call a chip a chip but not to be confused with the string thin waif like wisps of spud sold in fast food restaurants or on the continent)

For those interested ... I did a spot of searching last night and there is an unexpected amount of research on who calls a "bun" what and where across the UK... Including regional distribution maps. People have put an impressive amount of work in to this...
Different words for a bread roll across the U.K.
One of the things I really like and am interested in are the different quirks and vagaries of every day life and language. Whilst countries such as France celebrate their regions and differences, too often in the U.K. such things are watered down or ignored leading to widespread ignorance of ancient traditions, foods and cultures.…

There is also the chip pitta, chips in a pitta bread often available from your local kebab shop.

Non-UK folks may see references to names for bread that may need explaining. There are many local / regional names for a bead roll and many styles too, these can include, but are not limited to: rolls, buns, baps, barms, barm cakes, cobs, batch and stotties. Any can be used for a chip butty. Anything from two slices of mass produced white sliced loaf, fancy artisan sourdough, soft flour dusted bap or crusty bread roll. Chips, between two bits of buttered bread equals a chip butty.
