Default ID: CMP, Ford F8, Dipstick

Colleagues; it may sound a little bit weird to you - but could somebody positively identify the attached dipstick as one of a Ford F8?

Default Ford dipstick

Kuno,
Here is my dipstick out of my 1944 Ford 3 ton CMP that measures 15 1/2 inches in length;

Many thanks, Derk & Bob. Seems to be pretty clear: Not a Ford F8. The reason why I asked like this, is that at this particular ocation most probably an F8 was parked in the desert for many years and now we thought that this is a remnant of it.

Thank you very much for your efforts!
