Hi kaladorn,
I went did a quick search of the Internet and used then checked for the source that had information on rum ration and grog. Unfortunately, I did not check out the question on proof due to a quick visit from a 4-year old.

I wondered why Tom's proof was less than 2 x ABV as it would be now in US and Canada. I'd expect 54.6% ABV to be 109 Proof.
I found this historical mess to explain:

Anyone have any idea what the recipe for mixing 'grog' was?How about the 'proof' rating?
The rum ration or "tot", consisted of one-eighth of an imperial pint (70ml) of rum at 95.5 proof (54.6% ABV). Senior ratings (petty officers and above) received their rum neat, whilst for junior ratings it was diluted with two parts of water to make three-eighths of an imperial pint (213 ml) of grog.
