Jim,

I agree with Jim Nichols.  A quick search of the stenciling diagrams on the
NWHS archives page yielded these two hits:

https://www.nwhs.org/archivesdb/detail.php?ID=24965
https://www.nwhs.org/archivesdb/detail.php?ID=24964

Note the original date of the drawings is May 1941; perhaps someone at the
archives can check the stenciling revision books and do a reverse search;
this might help identify when stenciling was removed from the tenders.
