Default Early 20th Century Powder Question?

Looking at deciphering some mid-1920s pattern data and the powder used is marked as DS. I can't find whether it means Dupont Smokeless or Dense Smokeless (which could be Ballistite or Infallible). Anyone have any data on those early smokeless powders and exactly what DS would be? It was used in the Parker factory for pattern tests.
