[R-390] no vendor tag: any way to ID vendor?

[Barry]

I don't have one to measure; however, the "wide" tags cover the large countersunk holes behind the tag.  The "narrow" tags don't quite cover the entire countersink.  You can see part of the countersink on either side of a "narrow" tag.

Regards,
