If they are that old, chances are they will have perished and will split when you try fitting them, we had various with letters & numbers at work, sometimes it would take quite a few to get one fitted, without them pinging off never to be seen again.

And yes they get darker with age & use and can be hard to read.

I would guess they supplied them with custom markings, of course we now use a printer for heatshink, but that can rub off with use & the wrong cleaner.
