A small selection of the AWM records relating to Aust LP2A carriers. The info on the left page lists the original AIF numbers these carriers were issued with up to 17/12/41, when they changed to the C system numbers shown by the stamped number. They changed again to the Hull numbers, in the right column, in mid '42. Note that neither the AIF numbers, nor the C numbers are sequential to the hull serial numbers. Carriers were issued haphazardly to the AIF or militia and were numbered irregularly. Blocks of numbers weren't allocated to sequential production.
