I also have different coding due to special interior color. Assume the paint guy needed to know what color to paint the exposed metal interior areas. Not a lot of data out there about this. We do have other color spec in the code examples.  It looks like (color)-3 or (color)-7 for example.


The X was the default. It meant that all the interior metal was to be painted black. B, R, & G for sure exist...maybe more....Joe

Were the Stamped Tags in time with the dreaded Rear Bulkhead chalk marks also?

The rear bulkhead markings started to be used before the X codes. I try to call them crayon markings rather than "chalk" markings because it was a waxy type of yellow stick (or sometimes called grease pencil) that they used. But I don't know exactly when they started.

I believe that same type of crayon was used for firewall markings sometimes found when firewalls are soda blasted.

Who?  :)
