There are actually quite a number of people who collect these fascinating
markings, and we even have our own club, the Auxiliary Markings Club:

Pardon me if I am replying to a reply rather than to the original question -
again I was away for a few days, and my server doesn't retain postings for
very long. If there were other questions in the original post, please e-mail
me - my address should be relatively easy to unmask.
