The top image are two (2) NOS LEFT SIDE SIX PACK decals and you can see the K is different than the reproduction from just a quick glance.

have a look at the bottom right curve of the p. i spent a lot of time trying to reproduce australian r/t charger sixpack decals and stripes from nos ones and found that they would scan exact onto a computer screen and then when that information gets sent to the printer/cutter it would turn out different-answer-the computer does an auto adjust of curves and fonts to make them neater and the end result is a different looking decal. i beleive this is also true for u.s.a reproduction decals. what could be done in 1969 can`t be done in 2012. the people at the decal place thought i was being ridiculous but they saw the differences and couldn`t explain why it was happening. didn`t alaskan t/a show pics of original window bees and repro ones-different?
thats why if anyone has some nos ones that they will sell to me or i will pay for the tracings of them it would be really appreciated.
all the best
frank.
