It's not made after A/C type. The Type V ones are just the newer style, and certainly
easier to maintain.... replacing a bulb or anything like that.

The real panels aren't engraved. AFAIK, once the black paint dries, a laser removes the
black paint again where the lettering is. But only the black paint, so you have the
letters in white.
