[R-390] letter on R-390A front panel - what might it mean?

[Scott Bauer]

 I don't know about your situation but I have 2 R-390A's that have
names of the operator or the repairman scratched behind the name
plate. I thought that was pretty cool. I did post the names here
but nobody recognized them.
