At least now we can say, with a certain degree of safety, that the Great Font Debate of 2014 tends to support 2-2-V-1 as being The Patch as opposed to a part of the factory-built aircraft. So does Alcoa's assertion that the marking we can make out on 2-2-V-1 indicate that it was from reserve or spare stock.
