I need a new repro shift diagram and publications data plate. Seems no one has just the one plate for sale; at least i can't find one.
If you have one, PM me. Want one in the US.
thanks.

I'm pretty sure I have them, just can't remember where I put them. Hate when that happens. Will keep looking.....

Top left corner is the plate in question WO# 801821, ORD# 7697563, FSN 2540-769-7563. There is also another shifting plate that fills the small hole bottom center for the winch jeeps WO# 802372, ORD# 8677082.
The tran/transfer shifting plate is listed here alone for $15

Isn't there still a vendor that sell the complete NOS Data plate mount with the data plates already installed?

Yes Several including the one listed. The original poster wanted to know of one that would sell the single plate.

Yes, thanks to all; Ron, keep looking and let me know; I will contact Eastern Equipment/MV data plates if you can't find yours.
And true, I just need the one, and not Canadian.

Sorry for the delay. Found it. Always in the last place I look. Wish I could remember to start there first. Getting old I guess.
Is this it?

I found it interesting that that plate never got updated to show the latest/current M38 operator's manual TM 9-8012.

I found originals on eBay for $150. I skipped and went with Midwest Military quality reproductions. Saved 1/2.
