That photograph appears on the Museum Victoria website, among other places. The same decal is on my 1947 M seat. The background is indeed yellow. Just to make being historically correct extra tricky, International Harvester sometimes continued to use older designs here after ceasing production in the U.S.A. There are late forties and early fifties tractors which left the IH factory in Geelong with the pipe seat. Similarly, the cast iron gear knob was used right through the 1950s on the Farmall and AW-6 and AW-7 tractors. The same applies to some decals. We had some decals in Australia, which did not appear in the U.S.A. My 1939 Farmall M decals have a black M with two black circles around them as per normal, but are not on a white background. The same goes for the FARMALL emblem on the engine cover. The letters just show black over the red paint. The decals carried part number AP 46. If you go to

you can search for 'International Harvester' or 'Farmall' pictures and see various items of interest.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
