Thanks Revi. What confuses is "Exception 1" referring to 2S, 3S, 52S and 53S as not requiring treatment, are these fuselage stations ? ---as above this is a note about Alclad and primer.

I know that Spec. 3-100F (Oct. 9 1935) includes " no additional paint coating required on exterior surfaces of Alclad skin". T.O 07-1-1 ( Dec.26 1943) says-
"The exterior of metal fuselages and metal airfoils do not ordinarily require paint as a protection against corrosion".
So you are quite right in your last comment and I apologise for mine.
