looking for circa 1960 Fruehauf logo decal

I'm doing some NKP Fruehauf refrigerator vans, and the decals don't include the Fruehauf logo, much less the right one.
I want N-scale decals for this logo - shown in this picture on the left door:

I've looked around, and can find decals for earlier logos (black and white shield), and later ones (all red).
I found a couple of circa 1965 trailer data sheets from Microscale, but their on-line catalog shows the sheets too small to be able to know what's really on them.  Microscale 60-852 is 1965+ - and I don't think it's on there, but can't be sure.  Does anyone have a real decal sheet and can check?

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

I didn't see one on my copy of 60-852, but I've used a few of the plates from it.  Those may be among the used ones, but I wouldn't guarantee it.

Set 60-4117, "International Container Data, 1980+" has Fruehauf logos that look very similar, allowing for the fact that they're not too clear.  It's hard to keep the colors perfectly aligned on N scale decals.
