: For my right-hand-drive 1930 Town Sedan I have two headlamp shells with totally different scripts stamped on them, yet neither match any of the scripts shown in the article by Enrique J.Kleine & Marco Tahtaras reprinted in Volume4(pg88) of "How To Restore Your Model A". Both shells are definitely stainless steel & not the acorn type, so I assume the different scripts are possibly peculiar to Canadian production models. I intend to obtain a match for one of the shells in order to make them "identical twins", but should I worry about the correctness of the scripts as per the article?.

DJ,
I would continue to look for a match to what you have and use them.In the meantime, send a very good closeup photo to both Marco and Enrique.They may have come across new information since the article or this may add to the knowledge base.I'm sure they would love to see this and would give you some better understanding of this difference.Could be that a Canadian supplier did these.
John
