The CLink writeup indicates that cover was inspired by (probably not the best term in this context!) Nazi death camp tattoos.  That could be right, although I think those tattoos were numbers on the prisoners' arms.  So, it is possible that DiPreta was imagining a type of Nazi depravity that didn't actually happen.  

Blimey. Makes you think. Do we know if the numbers and words on the men's backs have any significance Sqeggs?

I don't, having not read the story.  They seem to be a list of his treasures:  Platinum, rubies ....

I wouldn't mind betting there's some hidden significance. There's probably loads of books out there with covers like this that the artist / author hid things in - personal thoughts and feelings which are now lost in time.
