Guy Fays Book "Farmall Letter Series Tractors" will not have the Farmall M decal placement in it due to it being missing from the IH records. I too have a 44 Farmall M and b/c it was the change over year for the "McCormick Deering" to "IH Farmall" decals, it was really hard to replace the ones I couldn't see anymore on my tractor. After a lot of research I found that 1944-45 Farmall M's had both the early and the later decal configurations on them. Since this was the change over year, I think that the paint/detail dept. was mixing the two until they had a noted and approved change. I say this b/c I have seen four other Farmall M's that still have all the orginal decals from the factory and they are all different when it comes to the decals. Having found that, I thought that I would drive myself nuts trying to figure out what I should do. So I decided to replace what my M had prior to restoration. Then I added decals that I couldn't make out but could match to other 44 Farmall M's. I know you need pictures so what I can do is look through all my pictures and see if I can find some of when I placed my decals after painting. Hopefully this will help you out and I can email you them.
