Tom, thank you for the quick reply.

What I am saying or trying to explain is that the front panel of both of my
30K-1's (serial numbers 12 and 26) DO HAVE silk screened markings or
"decals" if you wish but probably not correct.

According to Collins literature, these "markings" are missing which leads me
to wonder why both of my units have the silk screening markings?

Were only a few done this way in production or what?

I spoke to an owner of serial number 34 and he does not have this
distinctive lettering on the front panel.

Really curious that I have two units, serial numbers 12 and 26 that have the
lettering!

Thank you.
