Guy did a TREmendous job in getting that book together. I looked at it a lot in restoring my BN and found the drawings to be pretty scarce for As and Bs, and, certainly, as you note, non-existent for the Cs/SCs. I expect if I were working on an H or M or a W of some sort, I'd wish there were more, too. I expect that Guy had to strike some kind of balance between what was available to him in the first place, and what there was room for in the book. Even with what it doesn't have, I don't know of any book that was done with any more care or is any more comprehensive on the subject. And it's a beautiful book, to boot.
So, like you did (and I did) we try to glean what we can from the pictures as well as the tech drawings in the back.
Like I said, I don't have the book here just now (but will soon!) so your page references are a blank to me tonight, but have a look at the drawings in the back for the SuperA. They're what I used for my BN and show the decals on the fuel tank to be the brake and sharp turn warning placed just ahead of the PTO warning. The two of them look pretty similar -- both start with BE CAREFUL at the top and have the hashed outline around them -- not easy to distinguish the two in anything other than a close-up photo. There was no shift pattern decal on the As and Bs. Again, the pattern was cast into the tranny cover.
The layout of the A/SA and B/BN left the fuel tank as the only place to put a warning label in front of the seated operator.
The C/SC had the spot where my sharp turn warning is on the steering/light pedestal available. I don't see any sign of there having been any decal on the fuel tank, which leaves the question of the placement of the PTO warning. Where does the book show it being on the Hs and Ms? With the seat on the C being centered up, I'm wondering if it might have been put on the PTO shield, if that's where it was on the bigger tractors. I never found one on mine, but the PTO shield on it was pretty beat up an if there ever was a decal there, it was long gone before I got it.

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
