In answer to your twice asked question I refer you to the same source as earlier, the USCG Auxiliary Q&A database (search keyword = numbers).

The numbers are a fraction of an inch smaller than required, can I issue a decal, posted: 8/18/2003

Question: Everything was OK with the boat I did a VSC on including the spacing and contrasting colors of the numbers, but I measured the stick on numbers and they are just a small fraction of an inch smaller than three inches. The numbers can be seen clearly from over 100 feet away. Can I award the decal?

Answer: Yes, If all the other criteria have been met, and the numbers are just a small fraction of an inch smaller than three inches but clearly visible at 100 feet, you may award the decal. (Sometimes those stick on numbers are printed just a tiny bit smaller than three inches.)
