Atari bronze era (70s) games and overlay text stickers

The overlays don't appear in the Anti-aircraft flyer but Steeplechase, being released near the same time, was using colored overlays on the lanes. Perhaps they realized they could use the same material on Anti-Aircraft and started using it in the middle of the run?
 
My Trak 10 has a sticker for the oil slick

Pong has a sticker on the outside of the bezel to state what score ends the game, somewhere I have a NOS sticker

Stunt Cycle has stickers for all sorts of things, including the players, tubes, a sign stating "This way..."

I never saw that particular oil slick sticker on a Gran Trak 10. Again, is this a repro sticker that somebody created/sold? That would be an example of what I'm looking for - if it was lit up from underneath by the game - but all the ones I've seen are a simple square of dark overlay, like in this video:

The Pong sticker isn't an example, nor are any games with colored tint overlay. Stunt Cycle however is an example.
 
I didn't even think to check the manual :) Considering how few were made, I would think they all originally had the tint.

MIne seems era correct, and I think my arrows are either faded away or where not arrows but just a color that was faded. Mine is a Trak 10 and not a Gran Trak so maybe that is the difference. The black box on mine is not a sticker but produced by the PCB.
