Now, notice that apart from one suspicious number, all Plant codes were at the end? Some Plants always did their own thing, and located the Plant Code after the Model Number, and others at the end of the sequential. Also, each Plant started with # 00001, and therefore there could be up to five CMPs with the same sequential number but the Plant code differentiated. This was the case up to 1959 after which this problem was sorted I believe. So, it was nothing new! My suggestion is that the stamped chasiss number was the correct one, and the one that the Government used.
