The mysteries that have not been solved with the Korean War vintage M38A1 Jeeps is first tying the post-Koran (sic) War Canadian CFR number to the Willy's serial number and secondly tying the CFR number to the US Ordnance number used in by the Canadian Brigade in Korea.

Agreed. Good eye.
33469 is listed in a Canadian Army, 31 Oct 1955 dated, unclassified MESSAGE FORM sent to 27 COD London, directing that particular Canadian Army Registration number (CFR)
(among 90 others) be allotted to CODE 2230 Trucks, Utility 1/4 ton being returned from
FAR EAST with applicable year of manufacture.
Dale shows a dashboard data tag Willys-Overland M38A1, Toledo, Ohio production, with a delivery date of 4/53, serial number 45486. US Ordnance inspection stamp noted.
