Question Dash Markings Found

Found my hood markings on the passenger side dash while sanding today. Has anyone come across this before? It also appears that the hood numbers were applied first than covered over and a stencil stating " Install Drain Plug Before Fording". Is it possible the numbers were applied at the factory?

when the switch was made from 4 color camo to 3 color camo the registration number was moved from the hood onto the right side of the dashboard. This is still the current practice as we speak. The fording plug stencil was prob added by a previous owner.

Moose,

I'm still thinking about what paint scheme to use. So if I use the 3 instead of 4 color camo I put the hood number on the dash, correct? I may just go with solid drab green and put AF markings on it.

The registration or hood number was put on the dash in the 4 color camo system also.....many times though it wasn't put on at all....
