				Could they be markings applied in the dump to register and categorise trucks?

 I am pretty sure they are. I think the small 4-digit number is the unique vehicle number. Does it say "9545"? 
I am reading:
Sectie VII (or VI???) N 9545
CA / BRIT. 295
The same archive has two more pictures of the same Bedford...one shows the  markings more clearly.
