strange how they the opposite way round, the Crossley Q 3 tonner and Eagle trailer are identical to the RAF types
It looks as if the old numbers (pre 10.000?) had a "RN" prefix, whereas the later numbers (post 10.000?) used the RN abbreviation as a suffix, with this trailer as an odd exception. Here is a picture of a Royal Navy BSA M20 with RN6919 number. (source: The Classic Motorcycle Feb 1987)
