three more IDF autavias

Here are three more IDF Autavias. I prefer not to give the exact military engraved numbers, but they look close to the sequence of Alistair's ones. There seem to be both italicised (slanted) font and non-slanted on the 11063's. The engraving is always done in a similar style, with the circles of the engraving tool visible within the letters.

The first is the classic black 11063, supposedly from the IDF Navy, so the background is a USN F-4 (but Japanese magazine), not quite connected but you get the idea, and I always liked F-4s (even more than Ferraris etc). Serial number is within 20 of Alistair's one of the same model. Non-italicised letters.

The next is the manual model. I really like this. The olive green NATO strap is my addition but it goes perfectly with the patina'd lume. Serial number is again 20 or so within Alistair's manual model. Numbers are italicised.

The final is a bit unusual, as it is a green pvd 11063. Source was from Israel. Serial number is high like on the later black 11063's, but about 150 or so higher than the black models (non italicised) so presumably later.
