What does an EEA Dependant ink stamp look like?

Hi there,
We entered the UK via Harwich International Port back in April under Surinder Singh rules (me UK national, my partner non-EEA national) without a Family Permit and using only our Article 10 Residence Card issued by another country. At the border we explicitly asked for entry under European Directive rules and the officer complied (but did ask for a supervisor because he was a little unsure what to do himself).
It was pretty clear we were moving here for the long term as our car was stuffed full due to moving house.
We were granted entry without much of a fuss, but our entry stamp looks like the one uploaded - i.e. identical to a tourist stamp. Note that it does not mention anything about "no recourse to public funds" or "work prohibited" or anything else like that.
Since Code 1A was decommissioned, there has been sparse information over the internet about what the EEA dependant stamp looks like. I sort of expected somewhere in the stamp to mention "6 months" or "EEA Regulations" or similar, but there's none of that in our stamp.
Did we get the correct stamp? Or could someone who has entered under similar circumstances to us upload their version?
Many thanks!
