In that case FORD put the sticker the wrong way round when the car was built! I stuck then new one in the same position the old one came off

If you look at the decal on the header tank it came from FORD like that upside down

Bought them at National Day....there is a company that reproduces them. Have a look in the back of the Ford mags [mainly Classic Ford].
