We used  a hod ID card on camera for RPU before they developed vertical
interval  character generators.  When we leased a circuit from the  telephone
company I couldn't see that those transmitters (the same as ours)  were ever
identified.

I certainly agree that telco using similiar microwave gear as the station  
did to provided common carrier video circuits.  Locally I don't ever  remember 
seeing an ID on the video.  Later on I do recall video thru toll  test having 
charcter ID's  but no call signs.
 
However being friends with the telco video guys,  I do recall they  kept and 
operating log of the transmission times etc.  with the  equipment.  I am not 
aware if it was their technical requirement for  logging hours of use of for 
the FCC.
