The crown indicates that the glass (or other measuring device) has been inspected by the DTI and actually does hold the quantity it says in accordance with weights and measures laws.
The number indicates the regional authority which approved the measuring instrument. Certain trusted manufacturers have their own number as it would be impractical for the DTI to inspect every glass they make. 2043 is the number allocated to glass manufacturer 'Verrerie Cristallerie D’Arques J G Durand & CIE'. So that's who made your Tennant's glass, and they are considered trustworthy enough by the DTI to make pint glasses that actually hold a pint. Full list of identification numbers here in PDF format.

Rose West's date of release? I imagine she'd be ready to murder a couple of Tennants by then.
