Loose bolt
You can enlarge the GM-H factory pics to reveal great detail. Somebody left a loose bolt in the back of the 1940 ute.
Maybe Norm Darwin could help you out with a chassis nr. location ?
The date code on the second (missing) tag will be something like: A0 = Jan. 1940 B0 = Feb. 1940 and so on
I have two 1940 Chevy utes (wrecks), the light commercial model with a truck cab on the 113" w.b. Both have A0 date codes and the colour tag reads: PRT RD or Port Red
At the local car show, a chap turned up with a 1939 model in mint condition, he said he found it in a farm shed at Glenrowan. Some people have all the luck !
About 25 years ago I was offered a very original 1938 model light commercial chevy ute , a local farm vehicle but it was just too early to depict a typical wartime army vehicle so I passed on it
