Interesting discussion point here.

As far as I know there was NO stencilling of tyre pressures on wings
(fenders) or dash panels during WW2 on US vehicles, not sure about UK
stuff. I've never seen a WW2 image with tyre pressures on, the
practice seems to have become common immediately post-WW2 (lots of
soldiers with nothing else to do?) Always grates a little when I see a
'shiny' jeep or Dodge with TPxx stencilled all over it.

Correct on M38 and onwards per original posting. Anybody know when US
D.O.D. regs allowed / mandated TP's ? dont see it in my extracts of AR
850-5.
