Answer needed m35A2 dataplate smudge

Can someone look at their M35A2 without winch dataplate and look at the
bottom center block labeled, "Shipping curbage".

I am having some new dataplates made up. The data in that block is smeared out and faded.

Can someone read it for me. They are all different on the various M35s so be sure it says M35A2 without winch please. Even better if it is a Kaiser Jeep, but I'll take any and all info provided from the different vehicle makers. Thanks in advance. My dataplate maker is working this now and waiting for an answer, so if anyone can get it to me tonight I sure would appreciate it.

If this works out, he should be able to provide data plates for all but without holes and rounded corners. I'll keep in touch and give a progress report and offer an opinion on quality and service. Hope it works out for all.

I'd guess that info is used for shipping/transportation logistics.

If your using this on a "bobbed" truck, it needs to be adjusted, to be correct.

cubage, nor curbage, as in cubic feet.

They sure are.... specs do vary a lot. But... they all say "cubage", not "curbage"....! :p

The only non-winch truck I have is a M35 WO/WN, '60 Curtiss-Wright Corp. = 1164 CU. FT.

Looking forward to it. But for now....

OOPS! I missed another point he brought up. In the bottom left, it looks like

"Loaded CG Based on load of uniform
Density completely filling body ????"

He doesn't know what goes in there due to the smears, distortions. Can anyone help.
Heck, I think I'll just post his picture of what he has started in case any of you sharp eyed guys can see any other issues.

Checked that picture:
LOADED CG ...................BODY : its all OK, just as he put it. (no ????, of course...)

Only thing I could find: where it says 8A 93; it should say RA 93

Edit: another detail... see attachment. Option 1 is what you will normally find.
