Wayne -
Porsche did similar things for the recalls on wheels to show that they were inspected & passed. So maybe that was for a hub recall (hub-centric vs non??).
Check in Jeff Bowlsby's website for PLM "Plates, Labels & Markings" to see what fits, & post here for others' info.

BTW - you're post is in the Garage Forum, so either moved already, or else this is the right place for it if where you posted originally.
