A mysterious decal on a DINKY-TOYS GB #38B SUNBEAM TALBOT



Always on the hunt for variants and unusual colors, I bought some time ago a SUNBEAM TALBOT (#38B) in an unusual pale green color (same as the #38E ARMSTRONG SIDDELEY). This car, sadly having lost one of its headlamps, bears a decal on the tonneau, that doesn't seem to have been applied by a previous young owner, but more likely by a company that used this car as promotional gift. Having smooth hubs and plain steering wheel, I assume this model was produced in 1946-47.

After having searched, without positive result, if any of the combinations of the three letters could lead to an existing company, and as no one has ever given to me any tip on this decal or the company it represents, So, here is the quizz, hoping a reader could provide informations... Can anyone help ? ​
