Thanks Eric
You have a lot of great information I thought I would never fined.
This is going to help a great deal. I have been on the Canadian Library and Archives web page before, when I was Curating the South Alberta Light Horse museum. I didn't find very much on anything vehicle related for the SAR in Europe. So my question to you is this. hypothetically If SN 171243 did have a WD number would CM4231377 be a closer more accurate number or am I out in left field?

Also do you know anywhere I can get the BO lamp and wiper motor?
Again thanks for all your help.
