Default C15 rebuilds
Z 5194641 to 5195730 SM 2485
[1942] TRUCK 15 CWT. 4 X 2 AA (20 M.M.)

THESE ORIGINALLY HAD A VAN-6 BODY AND WAS ONE OF 2,000 C.15 AND F.15 TRUCKS CONVERTED BY DENNIS MOTORS LIMITED, GUILDFORD, SURREY TO 20-M.M. A.A. GUN PLATFORM WITH VAUXHALL MOTORS LIMITED MANUFACTURED GUN CARRIAGE-CUM-MOUNT.

This is the second known SM 2485 chassis, although my database may include a few more. This must be unique..demobbed, sold by the Ministry of Supply and then still in the same family! Wow! That Census Number appears to be incorrect BUT I wonder if it was genuine nevertheless...does the original paperwork quote the Census Number I wonder?
