Can someone please post some good high res images of their RH and LH side factory valve covers and any labels that were affixed to them?

Thanks!

Finally got home and took some pictures for you. This is my 140 mile 94 Indy 500 Cobra Pace Car. Hopefully the pics work. They are always a battle here:

Stick on decal is passenger side. Purple painted mark is driver side.

Thank You!

Hope you don't mind the ask, but is there any way to get the data on that white decal in text where it is obscured?

I also have a purple stamp, but its not numeric or 3 characters. Does anyone know what the purple stamps mean?

This is the driver side valve cover to my 1994 Cobra coupe and the factory purple stamp:

Does anyone know what the purple stamping codes translate to?

Just one more question…. I’ve been trying to tell from your other images (thank you), but can’t… even when I make them larger on my end (they blur or pixelate).

Can you tell me if the dot matrix lettering has the alpha or numeric of that specific character in the actual print? Sounds weird, but say for the large “E”, is that letter made up of dot matrix “E’s”?

Or are all of the printed alpha/numerics just “dots”?

Awesome - thanks so much for your images and the additional answers!!

So it looks like the printing is just the normal dot matrix "dots" and the final alpha/numeric results aren't created with repetitive printed alpha or numeric characters in that font.

It may sound confusing to some reading this - but sometimes depending on the application and "then" dot matrix print type/font, the larger letters like that on a dot matrix printer would be comprised of the same letter as printed. So if it were the letter "K", instead of just dots making up the final larger letter K, it would be multiple smaller "K's" making up the font and could only be seen if looking closely at the printed result.
