The identifiers are known and can be found in Henk Bos Grinding and Honing Part 4 on Belgian Water Whetstones.

Visually the slurry turns wine red, the polishing is very mirror like with still visible scratches. It can also be shaved of some types with only stropping leather.
Doors, thank you for the information about the red stones - do you have a link to Henk's identifiers? Also I was a little unsure as to whether you think this a straightforward BBW or maybe something different.
