The inscription below the Corso name is the data plate. But there is a name at the very bottom of the plate. It says ...

Actually, I also need to decipher this data table; I just haven't been able to find a reference for it anywhere online.

Looking good. But I found two variants of a such data info. Anyway I think it is enough if you chabge the "T.9.0." with "T.O NO" inscription"

 

[Stas1234]

So, here are the first results after... I don't know how much time has passed. On the left side, behind the cannons, I still haven't added the names—I'm still trying to make them out.

I think I'll be able to export the textures in 8K resolution, so everything will be clearly legible.

Guys, do you happen to have a more detailed image of the B-26 propellers? I'd also like to recreate the markings that are applied to them.

 

[Jadera]

[Stas1234]

And which company is the manufacturer?

Hamilton Standard Hydromatics i think

The prop may depend on the B-26 version. The one posted above is a a modern restoration.

Enlarged of the Mild and Bitter prop reveals that there were 5 lines with the data,

Oof you're right

 

[Wurger]

Tu sum up ... IMHO the data could have a form like that ...

DWG. NO. 814-3C3-18
SER. NO. 284713 ( for instance )
LOW ANGLE 17 . 0 - AT-54IN . STA
HIGH ANGLE 47 . 0
FEA.87.0 AT STA.54

 

[Stas1234]

On the B-26 aircraft's propellers, the logo does not resemble that of Hamilton Standard Hydromatics.
