Hi andrew,
The stenciling you found could be similar to the stenciling seen under jeep bonnets detailing information(very briefly) about the vehicle. Eg: my ford and a spare bonnet i have both have painted underneath: Truck 1/4 ton 4x4 Model GPW
As i understand it it was painted on to the under bonmnet so people knew what they were buying while they were looking at the engine bay i presume! So this could be what is painted under your dukw's bonnet. Just a thought.
Curious though as to why it only says 2 ton? DUKWS are a 2 1/2 ton vehicle arent they?
Cheers,
Ian.
