I have a 1943 dated N.E. unit also painted like yours (lousy brush job). 
 
I can see on the bottom the original stencil if I hold it to a light at the right angle. 
The letters were raised and it reads in approx. 1/2" type: 
 
FULLERPHONE 
TYPE IV  >|< 
(CANADIAN) 
 
The font was pretty basic, square forms to the letters.
