Ford always used (well most of the time) out side vendors for many of the parts
The tags appear to be more comonly used in the eastern part of the country and replacements seem to have been provided by the same maker. San Jose cars commonly have the upper tanks stamped (no tags) with the marker, and even date it was made. Restorers often use the radiators with tags becasue a correctly date (for the car) is often difficult to find
Is this a standard 3 row radiator? The square ends do not sound familar to me either for the standard radiator.
Sure Charles will have some more details and throughts to add
