Dont know the answer but I can measure the letters on the 49 if that will help. In my mind I think they are different than the M's as I saw a block listed some time back that was used to paint the letters at the factory and it was either for an M or for an R but wasnt listed as fitting both. Steve

Thanks Steve, if You could just measure the height of the "S" that would give Me something to compare.
