B = The last digit of the year that is in the Emblem at the top of the sign minus three.

C = Take the numeric portion of the Unit's Designation during WWII and add the numbers as single digits together,(Example 17th Signal would be 1 + 7 = 8) and then add one.

YY = Take the date the sign was placed (lower right corner) and subtract 1919.

DDD = Take the last three digits of the N Coords for the sign and add .039
