I am not trying to be cantankerous here, but I don't think there
is specific type acceptance of GMRS or MURS band radios.

In fact you can buy a RS radio and have it programmed for FRS,
or GMRS is you have the Ticket and they will jack up the power,
the rig can also be programmed for business radio. I have a GMRS
rig made by Motorola right in front of me, I am licensed and use it
on a licensed GMRS repeater.... it has no FCC type acceptance on
it at all.

I could be wrong, but I don't find it in the regs anywhere

If it was designed and tested by the manufacturer, for that band, and
you are licensed, it is fine.

Reprogramming or opening up MARS/CAP is not the same as modifying the
radio from its original certificated design.

well not to be a spoilsport Gary, but you are wrong in your assertation
above. Any modification of the operating perameters that requires
opening up the case of a Type Accepted Radio, would void the Type
Acceptance of that unit. How do I know this, you may wonder? Well, up
untill the Clinton/gore bloodLetting of the FCC, I was a Field Agent
and enforced these specific Federal Regulations.
