Thanks for the photos tsb!

I don't think I've ever seen HP key faces painted like that and a custom label on the rear is quite rare as well.

Seems to be quite unusual and rare in general, it's not on Matthias' module list.

The CH-53E first flew in the early 80's but it's still in service with USMC, so hard to pin down when it was made; hopefully Sikorsky will reply and provide some info, but I wouldn't count on anything soon. Besides the COVID crisis, aerospace companies have been less and less responsive to such requests in recent years, many no longer retain historians and archive staff at all.
