According to Clausager's Original MGB
The Weslake Patent decal was rivited on until September 1965, then became self-adhesive and was discontinued in 1967 on North American cars.
A special combined MG name plate and instruction plate was fitted on the rocker cover of the 18GF and subsequent North American engines until around 1970.
I believe this is it.

Tommy,
Nothing wrong with getting it right.
A great many owners just like stickers!
FWIW the Black colour engines had only a 'smallish' blue/silver Leyland sticker. (below)
Contact Len @ Britannicar

or Christian Hollum .

and quiz them. Your best option is Christian H.

That's my steering column shroud Randy used for his steering lock decal and OD display model. I have used David's work also. Good quality foil plastic. Randy has a super right hand drive 66/67. Stickers may not have been used on Europe models though. These guys will work with you. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Do check Clausagers too.

The blue British Leyland sticker went on in March of 1970, with some North American engines getting a red British Leyland sticker. (for authenticity be aware the BL stickers invariably were factory install crooked
