Hi Andy
"Dippled" background plates were fitted long before WW2 (I have one from 1906) and yes builders photos indicate that they were polished letters on a dark (Black?) background.
As you say in service they were simply painted over as time to polish such things was not there! (Even nameplates were often dirty/unpolished)

Not much activity on this site lately, but I have a question regarding
Vulcan Foundry builders plates.
Does anyone know if they were painted when fitted to the locos, or
just left plain brass ? I am talking about the later WW2 onwards, that
had the 'dippled' pattern as a background.
They would have been covered with all sorts of paint during the life
of the loco, but where they painted before being fitted.
Cheers. Andy
