Eh? Mine has the markings at the back.

It is, however a ****** to see the level, as they've made it out of some sort of plastic which is only translucent to the light of a full moon, filtered through the hair of a virgin, and shining from precisely the right direction.

Joking aside, you will probably need a torch, and a bit of experimentation with where to hold it in order to make the level of the liquid show up.
