Decal perfection? TM says probably not

I found this TM and it has the EXCELLENT shot of the oil filter body decal:

Notice that the oval decal is:

Not centered between the brackets
NOT PERFECTLY STRAIGHT!!!

People have a tendency to over-restore and over perfect military vehicles that were never as perfect as they are restored to.

I just thought the image was priceless and hopefully CCKW owners will restore the truck to its original, imperfect state.
