The diesel shield have been reproduced in (as far as I know) two versions. One is pretty good and accurate with the red diesel text, and the other one has the same looks but all blue text (fantasy). Both have the "Mobil oil corp L2" text on the blue border so it is easy to see they are newer signs.
I have both reproductions but the ones with red DIESEL are the only ones I have seen - got them from Chees years ago.
There has been a couple of real ugly Marine plates on ebay over the years. Have been discussed here in the "know reproduction forum". These are in real porcelain but doesn't look very good. No Mobil oil corp text on the Marine signs...
