Default Plates

The top one is a standard brass Canadian plate with gearshift and other info including the contract number 2196.



The lower one is the actual data plate for the vehicle with engine and chassis number, as well as the type of body, as denoted by "WO 18" (War Office type 18). WO 18 was a 8444 (C60S) Battery Staff Personnel Loading K2 The "M" suffix denotes a Melbourne assembled vehicle. Usually this plate was affixed to the top of the dash.
