WWII Eau Claire .30 Caliber Armor Piercing Label Question

I was hoping the ammo collectors out there could help me out with a question that has me puzzled.

 

According to my original copy of OFSB 3-5 (Small Arms Ammunition Lots and Grades), Eau Claire Ordnance Plant only made .30 caliber armor piercing rounds in 1943 (Lots 28000 to 28168). At that time, all the other plants were putting the blue/yellow stripes on the label, per regulations. However, the few examples I have seen of the Eau Claire label is plain, with no stripes. What I am trying to find out is whether anyone has seen, or has an example, of the Eau Claire armor piercing box with the striped label? And if so, would it be possible to get a photo of that label for my archives? Any information or photos would be greatly appreciated.

 

This is the label style I have found so far. Do striped versions even exist?
