Hello, my friend in Ohio has purchased a 1955 M152CDN, which appears to have been painted yellow, originally. The only markings seem to be "439" in black numbers, about 4" high, in the centre of the doors. The odometer shows very low mileage, and there is NO CAR# stamped on the frame. So my questions are;

1. Did the RCAF use M152's, and if so were they yellow, and would the "439" denote "439 Squadron"?

2. Would an RCAF truck be assigned a CAR #? Being as, pre unification, it was a Canadian ARMY Registration number, did RCAF use their own system?

Thanks in advance for any information.
