When I presented my MM proficiency I received a wallet size certificate signed by the major officers of the lodge. I still have it tucked into my SR passport. There was also an optional presentation size version that I ordered from GL. Both listed the name of my own GL.
Maybe, just maybe, there is some GL out there traces its lineage back to when its oldest American ancestor jurisdiction was recognized by the mother jurisdictions Antients, Moderns, Ireland and/or Scotland and uses a copy of a certificate in use at that time. I do notice the name "Grand Lodge of England" was used not "United Grand Lodge of England". It was the "Grand Lodge of England" (Premier or Moderns) that issued the original charter for African 459 which still exists.
I would not expect any regular jurisdiction to do this. I think it is a mistaken detail in memory. But, it is not to be unexpected that a clandestine jurisdiction would make up such a certificate as yet another faked attempt as asserting regularity.
Certainly certificates from the Grand Lodge of Florida don't say England. Certainly certificates from the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge Prince Hall Affiliated don't say England. Any other GL in Florida is clandestine and most of its members won't even be aware of that fact.
