Those decals probably came off a 1/12 Associated decal sheet #3820 which has the Porsche and Ferrari crests and the Ferrari name which is under the 2 Shell names but is white so doesn't show up in the scan.

It's possible those decals came from the 1/8 scale decal SP20 which is the same as the 1/12th and the Ferrari name is about 62 mm long as opposed to the 45 mm on the 1/12 scale sheet. This was pointed out to me in a pm by RC10resto, thanks Brian.

Thanks for the hint! Anyone in the US/California willing to buy it for me? Seller asks for crazy shipping cost and import charges (I live in Europe).

David, I purchased them. I'll send them along with the shock parts when they get finished.

Slowly progressing on this one. Still a mockup right now with plenty of details to work on. I added the shock towers today and assembled the steering linkages and camber links.

Thanks but do you mean literally literally insane or figuratively literally insane?

Thanks to Joe aka jwscab I received today the correct early 1/8 decal sheet together with the two beautiful alloy front shock cups he kindly machined for this replica. I really love building cars that couldn't come to life without worldwide partnerships. You rock, Joe!

glad they arrived safe. That's a heck of a camera there, picks up all the dirt and machine marks. Of course they are mostly raw off the machine(s) so some light polishing will improve the finish.
