I just noticed on your new pic that there is little to no paint in the vicinity of the yellow script.
I have seen a video of a valve cover from a truck which was abandoned in the desert out West.The only paint on the engine was the yellow script and it looked intact! I couldn't get a good enough look at it to see the details that I can see in your pics.
