I once bought a decal sheet with the image you are referring to. I'll take a photo of it and get it posted.

Hello Roger.....
To answer both of your questions.....First, the decals I used on the 1959 Ward Watson that you pictured has a very light gray arrow running through it, but my flash washed it out. Yes, it is supposed to be there.
AS for your second question about Lindsay Hopkins rabbit Thruston, I answered this about a month ago...Here's what I wrote then.....
The car was owned and ran by all-time cheap skate, Lindsey Hopkins. He was so cheap, he did everything half-azzed and it cost him drivers and chances to win the Indy 500....several times. One reason Jim Rathmann started the Ken-Paul Team in 1960. The rabbit and the top hat were because among everything else, Hopkins was an armature magician. The rabbit's name is Thurston and it was on all of his race cars from the mid 1950's onward.
Also....I have a sheet done by Chris Etzel that has a bunch of those on it...He liked the logo.
Best to you!
