(b) Packages filled in processing. Except as otherwise provided in this part, packages of spirits filled in processing shall be marked with:

(1) The name of the processor, or his trade name;

(c) Real or trade names. The producer's real name or any trade name authorized (as provided in §19.165), at the time of production, may be placed on any package filled at the time of production gauge, or at the time of original packaging of the spirits in wood when, as provided in §19.320, the spirits were not filled into wooden packages at the time of production gauge. When spirits have been mingled under §19.346, the proprietor may use any of the names represented in the mingled spirits, but no other name, as the name of the producer to be marked on packages filled with such mingled spirits. However, if the proprietor was the actual producer of the spirits, he may in any case use his real name. The processor's real name or any trade name authorized (as provided in §19.165) may be placed on any package filled with spirits during processing operations.
