The ambient occlusion layer can be used to add shadows, so you can put a number on in black only. The texture map for the sub is used on both sides, so any numbers will be OK on one side and reversed on the other side.

You could do this by having a flat rectangle 3d model and position it on the sub and have that rectangle have a unique texture with transparency on the alpha. You could even have this as a piece of equipment with available from and to dates. Then you could make it disappear after a certain date. Does equipment on your sub stay on the sub if you are on patrol and the end date arrives? Is it removed automatically?

I did read that the numbers were cut from steel and welded to the sides on the earlier pre-war launched boats, not just painted on.
