A friend pointed out to me a rather neat little site with
pictures of television coverage from several Gemini and Apollo
missions:
http://www.squareamerica.com/is.htm

And check out that Agena Display Panel, huh?

Was that actually _on_ the Agena?

Yes.

It can just barely be seen above the alignment notch in the docking
cone here: http://www.apollomissionphotos.com/gemini/s6561615.jpg

A better view is here:

(google doesn't properly link to this image, so I cannot locate the
high res if one exists.)

It's not commonly seen because it's very small and tucked between the
docking cone and the vehicle skin.
