There is, it reads something like: pull out throttle before fording, so it may have been part of the fording kit I dont recall.

"PULL OUT THROTTLE
WHEN FORDING"
I have ordered a full M37 kit from VPW based on referral from MW. My old says it in all cap.

I believe the data plate above the primer handle references the operation of the winch - no winch- no plate.

If you mean just above and slightly to the left of the engine primer knob, that is the Publications data plate.
TM 9-8030, Paragraph 7. Data, Caution, and Instruction Plates lists these. Often the important safety warnings are covered up or are gone. It's good to know them.
