These may be of interest to a CMP restorer. Scroll down almost to the bottom.

Default Switch Plates

So why are they not silver. If you are going to do something, get it right.

I think they are Silver, Bob, the coppery shade is just a product of the ambient light reflecting on the surface. The original plates appear more silver because they are a B+W pic.

A more pertinent question is why did they reproduce the "Bubba built" enlarged hole someone has put through the Autopulse switch position?

Default Bubba Built

Hi Tony - they probably just went with what they had. They are probably wondering what the hole was for. I have yet to see a switch plate that has "Autopulse" scripted.

On both of my 44 built c15A's that hole was filled with the socket for the light cord.

Hello. My name is Rob and I'm with CAFM. Our plate is the same as what Harry has said, there is a light socket in that spot for a trouble light. Sorry about the colour as that was the closest match that I could find If you want to see what our truck looked like when we got it, go to our web site, Comox Air Force Museum and under vehicles it's at the bottom

Default Switch plate colour

These plates seem to be finished in the same manner as Canadian 19 wireless sets, that is to say black decals over gloss grey. Like 19 sets, they start out grey but can tend to weather towards a brownish yellow.
