M45 Quad Mount Dataplate Mystery
Does anyone know what data plate was originally mounted on the right trunion cover? I've done a bit of searching and have come up empty handed so far.
Here's a picture of the plate in place but the resolution is too low to identify what it is.

Could be an intercom box mod like this one?

I think that's the plate for the m20 trailer. The mystery plate must be the data plate for the actual mount. I'm hoping someone out there can snap a picture.
It seems like most of the US quads are missing this plate so maybe one of our European counterparts can fill in the blanks for us.

Awesome! Thank you so much for posting this. Chances of finding this plate in the wild are slim but at least I know what I'm looking for now.

Re: M45 Quad Mount Dataplate Mystery
Mine has never had that data plate.But I would like to have one.Are the letters raised or flat and I wonder if we could get some made.I bet we could if we had a loaner.I also need the plate behind operator on frame and the one on the rear of trailer.
