Gonzo,
we had a similar procedure about 30 years ago. We had no GMR, SMR, ASMI, or A-SMGCS. We simply asked our 'customers' to use their MK.1 eyeballs.
Please do not think I'm in any way being disrespectful. If you don't believe me check with your GM.
Oh, hang on, he was on 'B' Watch then.

Procedure still in place at Gatwick The use of the ASMGCS satisfies the requirement for me to see both aircraft, but not the requirement for the 2nd ac to see the first, so I still need to ask as above. Long live the MK 1 eyeball

There's the Code A through E, based on wingspan, pertinent to ground ops/parking/twy restrictions.
I think (I'm not referring to any paper here) that the A380 is all on it's own in Code F now too.
