Anybody REALLY Bored? Need help with unit markings...

[crazycasey]

Hey guys, 1954 M211 Deuce and a Half, most likely out of California.


Front Bumper, Driver's side. 1, something, E, something, something, something...


Left Bumperette, but I think it's actually the right upside-down, so I flipped the image. TMP? Triangle, something, 7???


Right Bumperette, but again flipped and on the wrong side. Something, 6PG???

Remember, I asked if anybody was REALLY bored. That's all I've got. Don't mind fudging it a little bit, so long as it's "correct". Haha. Thanks!

All I see on the left (originally) bumperette is HE BG (BG is brigade)(HE does not make sense). I wonder how the bumperettes got flipped and reversed? Can you do some more careful sanding? The lettering on passenger side front bumper would have matched the driver's side bumperette, and visa versa. Sometimes you can put the puzzle together that way.

Right side looks like HEPG to me, if that would possibly stand for anything? Sometimes you can media blast steel and be able to read the image in the steel, but I don't think that will work in your case. It works very well where factory markings were put on bare steel with acid paint markers then painted over.

HQ BG
For Headquarters Brigade maybe.
I don't know. Just a WAG.

I'm getting "TMP" out of the Left Bumperette...Transportation Motor Pool. Looks like a triangle (Armor), or a really bad "4".
