Are there any numbers?
Are there any serial or data plate numbers evident? And does it have a pintle hook if so look on the back you may find the date stamped on the spring.
Of course engine number, serial numbers, details of construction changes are only a guide as 60+ years of modification parts swapping etc can make it hard to nail it down. If you are luck can do is narrow it down with each bit of information defining it a little more.
Of my three CMPs only the HUP do engine serial and all construction details match the manufactured data plate.
