Also, 3.8 talks about having required manufacturer's documentation, including the Monroney window sticker.

I would not think this was something to worry about at a regional event. However, if you are at a divisional or national event, and if you are winning, you should be prepared to support anything on the vehicle that may be open for question.
I beleive this has been covered before, and multiple denied protests are why this language is in the rule book. Look carefully at the comma placement. They are three statements of fact seperated by commas. They are not saying that you must have them on your specific sticker to be legal, only that when installed, they appear on the sticker, which is part of the justification for calling them factory/port, not dealer installed.

Yes, 3.8 does say that, but for this specific instance, the clarification has already been made. Those parts are legal, period, on your sticker or not.
