What is the best way to attach litho overlays to aluminium?
I'm inclined to use canopy glue which should attach anything plastic to almost anything but open to suggestions; although I would avoid 2 part epoxy as I can never work out how much I need!!!

Basically printed thin perspex or similar plastic as in pic.

Said I was dim. I’ve used similar but they were self adhesive.

I know the type you mean but these ones are a bit thicker - possibly two or three times thicker than ones I've used before, so positioning will be fun!

Do you know what make they are, might be worth contacting them to see what they suggest.

No. They were seen in a "other items" listing on ebay and I rather liked them. No make on overlays either. I guess they are either special printings or some years out of production - though dimensions seem pretty spot on.
