Default RCAF markings ##-### Home service DND #

The photo of the jeep with the markings
"R.C.A.F. 35-689" is almost certainly in Canada.
This is the 1943 style DND number system used in Canada which replaced the earlier system e.g. 42-1-1234.

Normally an RCAF station would also show two letters with the DND number to indicate the station the vehicle was attached to e.g.
Comox = CX
Sea Island = SI

The RCAF did ship at least one HUP overseas in WWII with the DND number still in place but overseas they usually adopted a British registration number.
