The variations are minimal and pick which particular version Shelby used at what ever particular time they applied or re-applied "Daytona." It differed from time to time then on the cars and whatever version you get today will probably be so similar to any one of the various versions the originals had at some point who cares?
I doubt they had vinyl script then. No computer cutting systems in 1965! Just an old guy with brush................
