Tony, Jack,

Thank you both very much for your information, I have now got my head around the organisational structure.

Now as per Jacks info if I were to use the infantry option I would show the 2/28 Bn markings over 56 on a red background is this correct?

If I were to use the the 2/7 Field Regt RAA this would show the 2/7 over what 'code' number ?? . Background would be standard red/blue horizontal split for RAA?

Position on vehicle: for '44/'45 (if painted directly onto the vehicle)would the formation sign and tactical sign be combined (tac sign to the left of formation sign)?

I am aware of bridge classification plate colours and markings, but what other vehicle markings might be shown?

Vehicle serial: Each side of bonnet and on tailgate? Any advice on a correct sequence for a vehicle entering service in mid '44.

Maximum load/speed information: Was this displayed on the tailgate? If so what form would it take.

2/7 FR RAA : would RAA Battery tactical markings be shown in addition this late in the war?
