Yes, I and others have seen silk-screened panel that were painted over, 
the silk-screened again.

My theory is that the panels started out a bit thicker than final. The 
lettering was punched on a punch press -- possibly one of two halves at 
a time. 
 
Then, the panel was sanded down or milled to clean up and provide sharp 
edges to the lettering -- i.e. get rid of the dimples that punching 
would likely cause. That would also clean up any deep scratches that 
might occur when handling stacks of panels. 
 
I have two R-390/URR's and two R-391/URR's. All four panels have 
punched/stamped/engraved/carved/indented/etched/fillagreed, not 
silk-screened, lettering. 
 
Has anyone ever found a panel that was depot or factory redone whereby 
the original lettering was filled in and the thing was silk-screened? 
Maybe some are stamped, but in mufti. 
 
I dunno, these dead horses keep jumpin' up and bolting out of the 
corral. Just be grateful they don't kick us in the head. The fact is, 
most of these reprise issues are never totally resolved, so the horses 
aren't dead at all. They're just playin' 'possum with one eye open 
waiting for an opportunity to rear up and do what they do. Put another 
way -- old threads never die, they only lurk away.
