Hello guys,
anyone knows or have a picture how it looks like an early ZAR plate at the backside, a pre49, the early one is flat/smooth or the same as the later ones?
And are the original ones made aluminum? or some other material?
Thanks in advance
Best regards |

The earlier one is almost flat.
The ZAR areas are a very little bit raised. But you can better feel it than it is visible. Both are of a metal that can rust. Not aluminium.
At the earlier one the background is black and the ZAR is plated with a shiny surface. But not as bright as chrome.

Thanks user for that pictures, now is possible to really understand the differences between them, all the pictures i have seen until now they were only from the front face, maybe not searching it good.
Thanks again my friend.
regards

Thank you usariemen, posting these photos elucidates all the missing details for reference and for all who are searching down these often elusive parts!   
Cheers,

I just got informed and checked it once more.
The early one is not magnetic. So no steel involved.
The rust I had seen might have come from the screws wich once held it.

Good opportunity to ask a stupid question  - what does ZAR actually stand for and what are these batches all about? I don´t think I can find any information on that.

That was explained before I am sure. But why not once more.
It is short for the german words Zu Auf Reserve
wich means closed open reserve
The badge sits at the fuelswitch lever and tells you in wich position the fuel tap is.

Excellent to review that information usariemen, I am happy to have one mounted at last! (Thanks Todd)

Interesting image; though I believe that one is upside down; I've never seen the fuel tap 'arm' pointing DOWN 
Here's a photo from my '52 with the Kamei extension and Bambus under dash parcel shelf.
.
If anyone else has contrary examples; please by all means; chime in with other evidence.
I hope this clarifies it for you.
