I have leafed a couple of old engines in the past. The ones I did (reproducing designs) were usually individual to the vehicle, ie, what the sign painter felt like putting on. My father told of leafing one (numbering) that had poppies on it, (not uncommon in California) but they looked a little odd, and thinking back to his days in WWII recognized them as opium poppies, lol.

Guessing you mean visual examples of the lining. Here's a set of photos I shot at the Hall of Flame in Phoenix a few years ago that show some.

Just saw your post about samples. You might want to check the Dover Books, they have some design and clip art books that may have what you're looking for.
