Cymbal producing regions which tend to have accurate inch sizing: USA*, Canada, Switzerland (except the Turkish blanks), Germany (except the Turkish blanks)
Cymbal producing regions which tend to have metric diameter sizing thus are undersized in inch measurements: China, Turkey, Italy
Cymbal producing regions I'm not sure about because I haven't got accurate measurements of enough examples: Easy Germany (pre re-unification) and other USSR countries; England
That cymbal has the look of an Italian produced cymbal in terms of lathing and hammering style. UFiP made lots of stencil brands for different drum manufacturers, although I don't spot Mica-Sonic on this list:

From what evidence has been collected so far we know that this stencil brand list is probably missing a few brands UFiP did make, and also contains some brands which UFiP made in some years but were also made by other Italian manufacturers in other years (Ajaha for example).
The CB 700 stencil brand is an example of a Tosco made Italian cymbal but not UFiP as far as current evidence goes. But who knows when somebody will show up with a cymbal which has both a die stamp CB 700 and a UFiP on it.
* note that just for completeness there are some slightly oversized A Zildjian cymbals. These aren't all that common but the period which they come from is the late 1950s. Going back further there are some slightly undersized ones from the early 1950s and older. This level of size variation from accurate inch diameters is probably the result of a different process than an attempt to make metric sizes.
