Default C098TFS/C298TFS

Hanno, I reckon you are on to something! The 1940 Models would have been technically C098TFS, whereas the British-assembled ones [S/M 2004 etc.] were EC098TFS, but as these were military orders they may not have bothered with a '1941' Model C198TFS and therefore the '1940' and '1941' Models were C098TFS, then for the jailbar grille 1942 this became the C298TFS. There was though a civilian C198T, and it seems the US 198T was also imported into Canada. That said the 11T 1 1/2 tonner was also available in Canada, possibly US-sourced and I query whether some 11Ts were exported as well? These would of course have the 1941 grille.
