That isn't an ordinance item. It would go, if it was required, where the local command ordained it.

I think there should also be a plaque that lists maximum top speed in each gear, but i don't remember where it is installed, because i think mine is missing

That's the "Transmission and Transfer Gearshift Instruction Plate", which is mounted on the dash panel, above the steering column.

My M37 had a decal center of dash below windshield "Max Speed 45MPH"

Have also seen it in stencil.

I thought I saw some that say Max Speed and On Post Speed or something like that. I might be over thinking it.
