Happy restoration to all!

Yes, I too have noticed two different sized F's on many of my fasteners on my script GPW. I wonder if there was more than one product line or supplier for these items. Here's a picture of two sizes of F's on the brake backing plate (as well as some non-standard brand bolts. I also have seen this on the hub bolts, (I have one somewhere that's even smaller than the one in the picture) and a few other places I don't recall at the moment.
