Below that is the T which is for tanks and carriers including standard, 2 pdr equipped and mortar.
The numbers below that are the year. It can be the following year from production.....consider it more the year it was given the DND registration, followed by a-1-, followed by a sequential number which can be one to four digits indicating it's registration number. By what I have seen these appeared to be applied almost in batches locally rather than each vehicle being given a number as they left the factories.
So in the end your numbering is:
ABCDE (unit or school designation)
T (carrier)
41-1-405 DND registration for 1941, being the 405th vehicle registered.
If you can bring up the lettering more clearly for your unit we may be able to decipher it.
This registration system of numbering was changed in 42 to a different format. Some of the earlier vehicles got re-numbered and some didn't.
