Default Gas Tank Stencils??

We've probably all seen pictures of beautifully restored TA's and Formulas with pics of the bottom rear showing a nice USS Steel stencil on the BOTTOM of the tank. I've wondered if this is the correct placement. Several I've owned or parted (mainly Van Nuys builds) had a stencil on the top of the tank. Also, these were from Arvin, as my pic show.
Is this simply another Van Nuys vs. Norwood difference, top vs. bottom?

I get the fact that with a very high dollar resto, why place the stencil on the top where no one will ever see it. But......
