Vinyl or mylar decals are available for restorations. What was used at the factory in the WD era?

The original hood markings seem like dry transfer or printed. The new ones don't look as the original - decals appear too thick. Is anyone making original style? I wasn't around when WDs were new so cannot compare.

I would highly recommend going with the Vinyl. They were not anything CLOSE to mylar.
