[ARC5] An interesting marking on ARA set sn 4839

[Leslie Smith]

  Hello All,
  The question is about the meaning of a stamp (red/orange letters)
  adjacent to the name plate.
  The letters are:  GFE and PV1 
  Some weeks ago Mike Morrow told me this means, Government Furnished
  Equipment and (as DS says below) Lockheed Ventura aircraft.  The
  nameplate accompanying this set was from an early ATA set, 7 to
  9.1MHz.
