OK, I have looked at maybe 100 or so photos of the squad on line and I have noticed that the writing on the door CHANGES! The door reads
Los Angeles
County
51
Fire Dept.
On all of them, but depending on which PIcture I see, it ethier says "Rescue Squad" or "Paramedic" under fire dept.
The screen shots seem to say Rescue on the left side and Paramedic on the right, as do the restoration shots, however the museum picture (which should eb the orignal right?) say Paramedic on the left, plus there seem to be other screen shots with rescue squad on the right as well...WTF?
Remember The First Episode the Squad was only Rescue Squad....After they were officially certified by California they Put the word Paramedic on the rig.

Good thought, and I came up with that too....but look at the picture of the squad on the headder for this forum, it says rescue squad, and I know that picture is not from first season. Even in the photos of the restoration a couple of years ago it is different on different sides......Im a truck lettering guy on the side so i ntoice these things!
I don't know about the lettering, but I remember in the cut scenes while they would be responding to a call that the different angles of the squad were not even the same make!
