There is a colour photo of the units at:
http://www.dardpi.ca/wiki/index.php?title=Image:DAR6560-6561.jpg
<http://www.dardpi.ca/wiki/index.php?title=Image:DAR6560-6561.jpg>  
Might yeild or confirm some colour info on the units for you.

If you think the font on the site header (http://www.dardpi.ca/forum/
<http://www.dardpi.ca/forum/> )  is pretty close to the CP style you
want, I used Clarendon BT
(http://fonts.appliedlanguage.com/clarendon_bt_font.shtml
<http://fonts.appliedlanguage.com/clarendon_bt_font.shtml> ) . The
overlay colour is a bitmap of gold leaf 
(http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLL&#92;
_en&q=gold%20leaf&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi
<http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLL&#92;
_en&q=gold%20leaf&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi> )  and the characters are first 
expanded or stretched (width-wise only) at 200% and then forced spaced
to 400% (in Photoshop).  Another example of the font in model action is
here:

Hope that helps.

Does anyone know what the font style is for box lettered S-3s for CP
or DAR units? Also the number style used. I need to renumber and
rename
a CP unit for the DAR.
