Hazmat placard boards on MTL 3 dome tank cars?

I just gave a close look at the Anderson-Pritchard Oil car on the MTL website and note that it not only lacks placard boards, but seems to be missing the holes for them. Micro-Trains has always included them on the 10,000 gallon tank cars, but the modeler had to attach them and decal them.

I know some of y'all bought the Shell Chemical 3 dome cars. Did they include placard boards and holes in which to place them?  ???

I need another car like a hole in the head, but... ;)

I bought 2 of the shell car (Still waiting for someone to make decals for that red 2 dome car so I can convert one of these!!! hint hint)

The placard board are loose in the case on a spruce and there are holes for them.

Thanks, Chris. Andy Sarge over on the Invision forum says his didn't have any. I'm inclined to take your word so ordered one from Chulvis.
I also posted on there since that's where George Irwin seems to be hanging out lately.

"Hmm... what's the hazmat
card for fermented
mango juice...?"

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

They're really too early to have placards on them, remember?

Too early? Here's a 1917 builder's photo of a car with placards!

that's good news about the placards Chris.

I plan to buy one (1) of these in SHPX if and when MT gets around to it.

Yeah I saw that photo on another site after I posted. In the 50's-60's I remember "flammable"/"inflammable" placards and learning the difference, and some with the name of the product in a tankcar. Then came the "Haz-Mat" numbers and symbols, seems like in the mid 70's, but it could have been eariler or later...I've slept since then.
