The "B" looks similar, but Leon's looks more blocky, and the "A" doesn't match.

It looks close at first but the corners are rounded, not block style. Like the "A" the "T" is also different.
I have the Phantom Stencil on my computer and it's as close as any other I've found.
It's like the truth. It's out there somewhere

I just had to try it. The R is not quite right, but otherwise it's decently close I think:
Just looking at it some more, I believe I can do better on a few of the letters. If you want a proper printable high-res version let me know. The one here is pretty low-res, just a quick-and-dirty version.

Yes.
I actually pulled different letters from a few different fonts to get it to look right. Some letters needed to be thinned out a bit as well and/or modified in other ways.
If you do it yourself, make sure to do it LARGE so it’ll look good when printed. Like, at least 76 pt or larger.
Seems to be doable in Paint, perhaps a bit more effort but doable.

Well I could not find a font on the computer that was "blocky" enough to begin with.
I saved what you did and enlarged it to the size I need and it became very blurry.
I think with the "Phantom" font I used last night I had it set to 60. 76 would be good too as I can re-size it a little once I import it into Word.
Would you be able to do a printable high res version?

Yup, will PM. When do you need it?
The original may have been a "hand-cut" stencil . . .

Dave, It seems the lettering may have been customized just like what Neil has done. The whole rocket paint scheme is a "one-off" paint scheme done to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Black Brant Rocket. I think Neil's reproduction is right on the money!

I just got done making the decals with Neil's reproduction but I did go there just to see and it did not match the font. I saved the website for future use though. Thanks for sharing it.
The decals are drying now. I am planning to put them on tomorrow.
