This is on the back of my WWII production Westinghouse liner; not sure if former follow me stripe? Maybe tape outline?

 

There seems to be another horizontal stripe above which also may have been a name tape?

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Looks like it's outline from tape indeed, perhaps in the shape of a T for technician or a cross? 

 

If you look up 509th PIB, you will find they used a similar system in the MTO, taping letters on the back of their helmets.

Thanks guys. I agree with it being tape that was squared off with a knife; took a closer look and the white parts are tape residue and that got pushed in when they were cut.

 

Ken, I know the 509th used tape but mostly on shells; a liner would of been covered up which makes me think this one was used for training purposes.
