The only problem is the 'ton'.

I've been converting to pounds (lbs), which avoids this ambiguity with
precise conversions. Apparently I'm not alone. [1] But I'd welcome a
well-supported convention for U.S. tons so that data consumers don't
have to guess whether the sign is expressed in pounds or tons.

Over 1,000 instances.
Some use of kg too .. but that is harder to demonstrate.
