Larry,

About 27 years ago I helped a friend rescue a Morris Commercial C4 Air Compressor truck from a dealers yard, where it had laid since the disposal sales in the late 40's. On rubbing the paintwork down we found the RN serial and that had the letters RN after the number. This may have been done to stop confusion with RAF MT on which the letters RAF were before the number.
