Can only see maybe 3 numbers there..
The numbers painted under the bonnet were an aide to any mechanics servicing the vehicle and would display the model number and year of the vehicle, and sometimes the make of truck. So we would expect to see something like "CVT 8444 1942" or "8421 1942". These numbers do not identify an individual vehicle, only the type. This was an Army practice, not RAAF, so despite the hint of blue paint, this was most likely an Army truck. Does the spare cab have anything similar under the bonnet?

We are sad, sad individuals here, and would like nothing more to see some other pics of this second truck.
