I just finished restoring a Philco 645 tombstone that was missing the chassis labels (aerial, patent, model). As luck would have it there was an eBay listing recently for a 645 chassis that had clear pictures of the labels. I used Photoshop to re-create the labels based on the photos:

Original
For comparison, here are photos of the original labels:
In order to use them as a template I corrected for perspective (the original eBay photos weren't straight on) and sized according to the marks for the original labels that I could still see on the chassis.
Hopefully someone else will find the reproduction labels useful too so I've attached them here as PDFs. It should be simple to modify them for use on other similar models as well since it's not a scan but a structured graphic.
