Default rising sun

I was wondering if anyone else has run across these stencils on vehicles of the rising sun, I removed the engine bonnet from a 1942 GMC 6x6 a few months back and it had the same rising sun stencil or painting ? The truck is at a remote abandoned US airbase could this be a Unit designation ?

Perhaps that Dodge had repairs done & was out of action.

There are five different scripts of stencil there. It would be nice to have a rule against the photos to get an accurate size of each one. If anyone has an original stencil sheet please PM me So I can get details. A photograph of it with inch rule next to it would be great.

Here's a Nice Rising Sun, Almost faded away...
