Re- the PDP-8 one I just scanned.. On the plastic thing on H-960 these
metal logo plates stick right into the front into the recess with gummy
stuff on the back of the metal.

Odd...The chap who gave me the rack removed the panel (and the fan,
and the stabiliser feet) for transport and gave me a box with them in. He
commented that as I was putting a PDP8e in it, I'd probably not want the
banner that was there (I am pretty sure that the original contents of H960 was some kind of PDP11 system).
Anyway, spend the day cleaning dust off parts, stripping the fan and
power
controller, etc. I did not notice any adhesive
residue on the plastic
header
panel. And I think I would have done.
So perhaps the header was blank, or the banner just pushed in (perhaps
somebody forgot to remove the backing paper...).

Sounds like the banner plate for my 11T (Qbus 11 in a 50inch rack) the
banner holder was such that it could slid in from the end if you took
off the plastic end stop. It has the PDP-11 in in the older reds scheme
on thin maybe .040" aluminium.
