Thanks Sonny,
Evidently, it was Beachwood. I had a couple of replies that suggested I
call them, and it appears to be good advice. I just got off the phone with
them and it sounds like they really know what they're doing. Will ship to
me in a few weeks, and they were great to deal with over the phone. I'll
keep the list posted with how it comes out and will try to post a picture of
the plate and half-track when/if I ever get her out to a real MV show or
swap meet.
Thanks to everyone for the quick replies.

One of the canvas makers had those boards at Mobile but I can't remember
which one it was but that narrows it down somewhat.
