HMS Violet - placement of the name letters on the hull

[WW1 TBD Decking]

I am building a 36” model of KMS Violet, a TBD built in 1896. As you can see from the photo, the name appears on the port side at the stern. My question is :- Does anyone know if the name should be repeated on the starboard side as well?

 

also the depth numbers are seen on the bow so would they be repeated at the stern as well? My photo showing the name does not include any depth markings but it is only a photo of the rear of the stern near the deck

 

any ideas would be really helpful!

Hi,

Don't know about the name on the stern but she would have had draft marks aft and midships, you can see the midships draft marks in your 2nd photo.
