MG MGB Technical - Heater pipe info plate

I found a info plate on the heater pipe of a mark 1 mgb in a wrecking yard that I have never seen before.
It reads "caution" in large caps; and, "It is impossible to drain heater unit when draining remainder of cooling system - under freezing conditions bluecol antifreeze must be used".
I've owned a number of MGBs since 1965 and have never seen one of these. Is anybody aware of these?

Joe-
Yep, I've seen them on early MGB's before. It's a nice collectors item. Don't toss it away. A Purist might be willing to buy it for his restoration project.

Thanks Stephen

As a point of interest, the sticker on the plate is still available from Moss Motors. You'll see it on page 75 of their latest catalogue. It's item # 44.

Stephen,
There is no sticker, it's stamped into the brass plate.

Joe-
From the appearance of the rectangular section in the upper left hand corner, I thought that it was a sticker afixed to the plate.
