Default Ford F30 engine cover

Hi folks, whilst doing some work on my F30 I found lots of factory made data plate holes in the cab engine cover. 2 on the drivers side and loads on the rearward facing part, any idea what plates should be where ? Even better phots or replicas !

Must finish this for Normandy, W & P and 30 Corps before starting on the Daimler Heavy - must be mad.

Thanks,

Andy

Default Engine cover

All engine covers were punched for all the plate options and sometimes even more were added.

The basic ones were the gearshift and capacities plate and then the four wheel drive warning above it, then next to the driver were the lubrication plate and behind that (on factory winch equipped trucks) the winch cable plate. The example here is one from a FGT.
