Ooops, sorry I was thinking it, but didn't write it! All the other units listed were 102 on a black background.

The RN number doesn't ring a bell. NZ Army vehicle numbers are in the range NZ23xxx to NZ25xxx. A typical place for the NZ number was on the doors.

I have no idea of the vehicle numbering of the RNZAF (one of the very few pics of a C8AX in the South Pacific shows an Air Force vehicle in front of a RNZAF Corsair), or even the Royal Navy. Could it be something Post-war like Republique Nouvelle Caledonie?

The other smaller lettering doesn't ring a bell either. I thought it could be XH8448 the vehicle model classification, but doesn't look to have the right bits in the right places.
