VMC bezel reproduction and 1% shrinkage

[MoonDawg]

         I don't have an answer, just a guess.  If indeed they come up missing.......maybe they were donors for embossed VMC 81 Orange Crush machines?

I personally haven't come across many VMC's missing the bezel. It's a tough part to replace yes if it is missing. But all the Vendo 39's and 81's sometimes are missing as well but because there are so many more of those machines floating around it is a easier bezel to replace, and cheaper. The VMC was just made in lesser quantities so it's magnified more if missing,
