The names in White or Tan, were a way of making the USA crews take pride in their vehicle, and warning any temporary user, as to who would be coming after them if a truck was not returned in perfect condition.
As for signs or decals on the door, when I served, you might have your call sign on the door.
Only the lowly combined Forces duty drivers, or Range control had a fancy emblem on their door. We were embarassed
to get stuck with one of those.
Our assigned Veh. with our unit Tac sign, on the rear was all we wanted to use.
For interests of National Security, Tac Signs, and unit designator stopped being posted, we we all knew that we help the only key for the steering wheel chain lock ( in flagrant disregard the national policy, but screw you... I signed for that unit, and I'm taking it back!)
