I suspect it was done to avoid copyright problems with Reynolds TI.

Actually, Chombi, H. Lloyd's is the only repro outfit that is licensed by Reynolds to do re-pops. That "apostrophe" is on both sides of the 531. I think it's proper for some mid to late sixties Reynolds decals. Maybe in to the early 70's. I know I've seen them before but can't remember at the moment. If he had produced the mid '70s gold band decals in water slides I certainly would have used those but, he only does them in vinyl now so I opted for these, which I think are excellent despite being too early for the bike. The greens are too green, darker than the "531"s on my other French bikes , but the quality of the print is very good.
