Hi
Definitely been resprayed over some pitted steel. This can be avoided by asking the painter to prime twice where the pitting is - I had a Freddie Grubb sprayed in the original in flamboyant orange and first time around you could see every small indentation, after stripping and going again it was flawless!
Try Llyods transfers for 531 decals, I think he has the full range to choose from.
As you might have gathered, I'm in favour of stripping back and recreating, rather than saving something that is possibly not original anyway.
