That is only the engine serial no.. The only place that the vehicle serial no. is, is on the upper armour. The carrier in your foto does not have any place left that would have any kind of numbers. But from the engine number you could be fairly certain that it was a 1944 model MK.2 probably built early in March. If at all possible I would try and rebuild that engine. Even if the cylinders are in bad condition it can be sleeved.
