Ok, addemdumdum to the previous information I tried to answer for this
question

I grabbed most of the wire set I have (they are USED) and there did seem
to be a question about the only part I left out, after a serious 
squinting session out in the bright sunlight of day -

The set of wires I have are marked AUTO-LITE 102040 PH  2 QTR 57
note the PH and NOT PN

at the most I might hazzard a guess that it started out a white ink,
but now its more gray/silver looking
My cleaning of these wires was simple soaping without any 'degreaser', 
some time ago.

about 1-5/8" between the PH and the 2 QTR 57
about 12" between "A"'s  in AUTO-LITE
lettering approximately 5/16"
What I have yet to determine is if is PH or P.H.
I'll go squint some more

CORRECTOMUNDUMMM

P.H.  slight YELLOW tint to the INK!!

I Do have a faint 'Light-bulb' reccolleeccttiioonn that they used yellow 
on some wires. BUT thats' the Old Brain dredging up a memory from out 
and about at some car event years ago and having one of those "A-Ha" 
moments of insight.

RAY< you should get a reply to this WITH a picture attached!!
