I had posted a while back about trying to find the proper decals for a 1948 super A.
After MUCH searching and researching - I finally came right back to one of the first places I looked - and there they are. Binder Books has them. Don't know how the )*#*&^# I missed them.
I figured in the interest of helping others who may be searching this site for this same info, I should close the loop and post what I found.
The 1948 super A's had different decals than all the later models.
It seems since it was just one year, that most people don't bother carrying the slightly different decal sets
The most obvious difference is the hood decals - they say "Mccormick Deering" not just "Mccormick" There is also the IH logo on the left like later models have.
So it's different than the earlier A's that (I beleive) only had the mccormick deering/farmall with no IH logo.
The round super A hood decal is also very different - it has a clear background - not the white which is sold in most decal kits. (I believe this round decal carried forward a couple years, not just 48)
The oil filter decal is smaller too - there may be other differences, but those are the most obvious.
I was starting to think I was crazy since I knew for sure my hood was original, but nobody seemed to believe it said mccormick deering and not just mccormick.
I also see from many online pictures of restorations of 48's that most people seem to use the newer decals. I assume they just gave up looking as I almost did. (or just didn't care)
I'm adding a picture (not my super a, wish it was) that I grabbed from this site - it's a 1948 with the right decals.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
