N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

I think this is W West snr's handwriting, it appears anonymously on a number of Herb G S West sheets. I haven't found the 'link' to compile handwriting examples. Curiously I wonder if there is a connection to the similar anonymous very neatly-written labels on many Birm Nat Hist & Phil Soc sheets, is it possiby G S W's, representing collections by him? Handwriting can be very similar in families. A thick black ink (India) is also a common feature; on W West's smallish labels it can look a heavier contrast to the Birm writing, but I suggest that could be due to cramped size. There are 2 neat hands on Birm, in black ink, rounded letters and tall.
