Found: Safety & Warning Decals (Canadian M-series vehicles)

[45jim]

I believe that radio decal originated with the M113 series vehicles. I did see it on several 5 ton's (mostly wreckers that had radio installations added) as well. I have seen both adhesive decals and printed ones on Aluminum or Zinc strips.

I did have an old photo of Militia M38A1's (early 80's) from my old unit and they didn't have that decal. But then again it was an Infantry unit and no radio installation (tray and 1780 box IFIRC) was fitted, just a manpack radio so it was not getting power from the alternator so no need for the decal, must have been part of the installation kit. I didn't see the "no smoking in DND vehicles" and "headlights must be on" ones. Perhaps I didn't look close enough.
