Default Number?

The last tractor appears to have a number "_52155", and my list suggests it might be L 4952155, from the batch L 4952134-4952858, to Demand S/M 2765, for 'Lorry 6x2 G/S' which my scribbled notes say is for EHU and EHT models. Does that make sense? I have to add that there is a known dichotomy as regards some Macks [NM] which are listed as G/S lorries say, with "L" prefix, but photo evidence shows that after "assembly" here they also carried "H" prefixes for tractors, suggesting a change of role so it could be H 4952155 say. The Bovington record cards drive me crazy in that respect as well.

I have details of some Macks not on the Census List, gleaned from various sources including National Archives papers. Same applies to White-Ruxtell and Ruxtell. As a consequence I have some N Africa deliveries. However I cannot make sense of a lot of my notes now!
