[R-390] Front Panel Lerttering

[Mark Donaldson]

I have a Navy R-390A of the same panel color, tag was
removed so not sure of which contract it was. The
lettering on mine was black. You can ID the shipboard
Navy units by the fact that the back panel has an
additional subpanel added with circular mil style
connectors for interconnect, this allowed easy
interconnect in racks that had no rear access.
