[PRCo] Roll signs Interurbans

I have a few  PCC interurban signs that I will dig out and then list  
the designations.

Meanwhile...

I have a side sign is in a light green side sign box from a 3800 type  
car.

All pieces look to be original factory printing and stitching except  
one, which is noted.

"3812" is penciled at the top of the sign.

Questions:

Is this a legit Rys sign configuration?
Could it have been altered by its previous owner?
Why would a 3800 car have double ended route destinations?
Why is there the "ARNOLD" destination on the roll?
