My working theory is that Willys M38 and M38A1's that were purchased by Canada tended to have CFR numbers 33XXX (with either a year prefix of 51 for the 10/51 M38's or 53 for the 3/53 M38A1's). Ford M38's generally have a CFR number 52-30XXX to 52-32154 (highest one reported so far) while the Ford M38A1 were 53-3XXXX (lowest so far reported 53-32181, highest reported 53-32908). There are a few exceptions that may have been due to re-issued CFR numbers at the time of Workshop Rebuilds. ......... Brian
