Huntsville Legion Carrier Identification
 
Guys,

Our team member Matt is chasing down the proper decals for our MkII Huntsville Legion Carrier Project. I'm working on the vehicle identification decal and I need some help please.
On this carrier, the symbols on the top edge of the front upper hull plate (driver side) have been damaged. Using a brass buffing wheel, I have been able to extract the following numbers:
CT 266389 2 7 194_ Ford 34232 - which is the vehicle serial number?
Now, on the angle iron reinforcement, (commander's seat) I have:
CB 23253 - which I am assuming is our hull #?
On the rear upper hull plate angle iron, commander's side, is stamped 23226. Is this just a part #?
I would appreciate everyone's input as well as an educated guess as to the year of manufacture.
Thanks very much!

e-mail sent. Good job Rich. Now you can paint on the correct CT registration number. However, you need to clarify the serial number, which I wager does not start with the numeral '3', but instead see if it is a "2".

Year of manufacture? I believe Monday, February 7th, 1944 is close enough.

Bingo Michael R! I walked back out to the carrier and looked more closely. It is a 2 with the lower part of the 2 chipped away. Thanks very much for helping us complete the identification of our Legion carrier.
Cheers!
