A-19 will be the designation for the Canadian Army Service Corp Training Center that the truck belonged to. L is for Lorry, and the remainder is the DND number assigned to the truck.
The date on the steering box is a casting date. It may have been a while before that casting made it onto the truck, so that may not be the best way to date the vehicle. It is also possible the steering box got changed out at some point. However, since your truck has the holes for the bumper reflectors, and does not have the FORD script on the cowl, that date is possible.
