Rog,
You cap should have Model FM followed by the manufacturer's address heavily embossed on the top of the one piece cap; the early version had a one piece domed cap with the adjustment screw and hold down screw very close. The later version, mid 28 through 29 had a cap also with Model FM followed by the address, embossed heavily, cap similar in construction to the Stewart/Warner and same screw configuration. Out of 5 FM Model A Horns I have (three 28's and two 29's), I can find only one horn with EA stamped on the bell base, no FM stampings other than the one found on the one piece cap. If you have a Model A FM horn without the address on the top of the cap, you have the wrong cap, at least from what I have researched. Replacement caps are available from A&L back east.
