However if it is a later model like #3338 etc. then they had it located at front & rear of the loco which was equipped with two headlights at each end & came into play when the prototypical R/H single rear light display was activated. It was used to block out showing two lights to the rear & just sat covering one side of the light diffuser. My two cents worth.

I got mine in 1971 at Franz Carl Weber and it had the piece of paper installed at delivery. My impression was that this piece was not part of the regular assembly, but may have been added to specific models after a problem was noticed during assembly/testing. Regards Mike C
