Yep ... these were of the Curtiss Electric / Curtiss Propeller Division.

By the way, I've quite often noticed markings on the skin of American aircraft near the fuel tank filler caps. What exactly is written there? For instance, does it specify the type of fuel to be used, or something else? I'm asking because I think it would be interesting to include that as well.

The stencils there were quite similar to the one at the main data plate at the fuselage side.
It could be like that ...

CAUTION
DO NOT OVERFILL
ALLOW FOR EXPANSION
SERVICE THIS AIRPLANE WITH
100 OCTANE FUEL ONLY

And here the No Step warning on the wing tops ...

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.

Hope this helps!

Something else I found that could be sorta useful...

Unfortunately, I cannot work in 8K; I can only export in that resolution.

Is this a green shade, or is it brownish-olive?

I have found another shot and I would say there should be

Sgt. T.R Weins. or T.M. Weins I would say T.R. Weins.

But I have to check on something yet.

 

[Wurger]

Yep .. it looks like the guy was T.R. Weins.
