Did the original spark plug connectors have "Ford" script embossed on them?

They are on my roadster. I was assuming they are original. A lot of original parts on this car. Seems to maybe be lower mileage and rather well kept. Thanks man!

The RG&JS don't mention a Ford script, so I'd like to hear more about this. Is their description incomplete? (See photo from the RG&JS below.)

Here's all they say:

The correct connectors from the distributor to spark plugs were stamped from 26 gauge bronze which had a copper color. From the beginning of production through May 1930 the connector ends were symmetrical (rather than offset). A new design was introduced in June 1930 in which the ends were offset (for more efficient use of bronze sheet stock). Both types were 3-1/8” from the center of the hole to the end of the prongs. The spark plug nut was round, knurled brass, 7/16” in diameter and 7/32” high.

This is from my car. I also just noticed Ford script on the cap.
