Another marking question

Post by jeeps8 »

Has anyone seen or know of these markings? They are on the front of the windshield frame. They are in some kind of orange script writing and are unlike anything I ever saw in the Army. The right one can't quite make out, Jeep maybe. The left one I believe says TRUCK 1A. Was one civy owner before my family, so it could be from them, but its under the civy paint though. Any ideas would be appreciatted

The right side.

Most of these jeeps went from the military to other civilian government agencies before they were eventually released to the public by auction. Those marks could have been made by a municipal government agency that possessed the jeep at one time.
