What logos would one expect to see on a 1957, or any other oval years for that matter, when it comes to the original glass on any year original oval windshield? ..just curious

Yes I saw those while searching prior to asking...
I just made a small day trip to go pick up a windshield, and an extra rear oval just in case, while the windshield glass I picked up looks original as it is nearly 5/16" thick and made in what they call a 'chemical lamination' (I'm a glass guy by trade). Knowing what a hand cut or replacement windshield usually looks like.. there are no readable logos saying Duroglas or Sekuit.... but from the way it is so cleanly cut I can only guess that it is factory cut and not a replacement...
It does have a logo on the drivers side front corner but it is to weathered to discern legibly...
I'm not actually 'using' the windshield but am using it as a template to make make the new one to cut off...
Was just kind of curious if there was a euro spec windshield logo or USA spec logo and if they had any differences..

| I seem to recall this just recently coming up and I believe that the conclusion was that sekurit/duro glass was used interchangeably between Europe & US. So you could have either. |
