Note just under the "TECHNICAL MANUAL" line... what looks like a clover and a leaf. Its also on other TMs I have:

This TM is printed 1941 at the US Government Printing Office.

It only seems to show up on TMs dated 1943 and earlier. Not sure what it is, or what it means. A quick way to tell what printer it came from??

Any ideas????
