8443 is the Model code for C60L, X2 is the export code for delivery to the UK:

X1 ANY POINT EXCEPT FULLY BUILT UP
X2 UNITED KINGDOM BUILT UP
X3 INDIA CKD
X4 AUSTRALIA CKD
X5 NEW ZEALAND CKD ALTHOUGH ASSEMBLED TRUCKS HAD “XH”
X6 BATAVIA, NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES CKD
X7 UNITED KINGDOM CKD
X8 ANY POINT CKD
X9 SOUTH AFRICA CKD

The "ARN" on the hood side is actually a British WD number, which also points to this being a British vehicle acquired by Australia in North Africa, or received here as Refugee cargo.

The serial number beginning with 18443xxxxx indicates a 1941 Model C60L, ie built in Late 1940.
