Another example (see attached) of the 'Unit Serial Number' with the addition of a backslash followed by the number 1 being used as an ‘Embarkation’ number, along with the number and type of landing craft in which the vehicle was to travel, added along side (or in this case on the other side of the bumper) the 'Unit Serial Number' with the addition of a backslash followed by the number 1, and in this case reads 2351/1 followed by T143MTS

'Unit Serial Number' - 2351 was the number assigned to the 3rd Public Relations Group Type (C) (later redesignated - No. 3 Canadian Public Relations Group Type (C) - effective 1 April 1945) upon authorization effective 1 April 1944 until disbandment effective 15 December 1945.
