I can't say for certain on other vehicles but on jeeps the "hood" numbers along with U.S.A. above the numbers were the only markings applied at the factory. Some canvas items had part numbers and other information stenciled on. The national insignas (stars),unit identification markings, tactical symbols or informational markings were all added later.<P>This all goes along with my question on how a military vehicle should be presented for judging. While not factory, the vehicle wasn't released for use until all the required markings and equipment were added.<P>I'm planning on taking this jeep to our local AACA judged show in a few weeks. It'll be interesting to see the results.<P>Thanks,<BR>John
