Originally each vehicle had a paper ID tag affixed to the oil fill tube. On this tag was engine code ID and (I believe) the transmission code ID. Because this item was paper and was glued to the tube you can imagine about how long these things stayed on. With oil, heat, engine washing etc. they would either disintegrate or peel off rather quickly.
(Still got my original) You can today get reproductions of these. With my original I covered it with the wide clear packing tape so it would not come off.

Regards,

Fred
