Chassis stamping
I have heard of partial stamping on the chassis rails on Canadian trucks...it seems that GM-Holden's stamped the complete number on their CKD-assembled components.

I don't have any reason to say this is the case for the frame in the photo, but I wonder whether the serial might have been stamped on the frame after the truck left the service as part of the requirements to permit registration? I used to own a Sankey bridging trailer that didn't have a serial number on the frame, only on a data plate and the Transport folks wouldn't accept either the short serial number (only five digits if memory is good) or the fact that it wasn't a permanent part of the frame (they preferred stamping but would accept welded numbers and I got away with stamping some sheet steel and welding that to the frame).

Regarding that C15A the numbers seem to be too misaligned to be factory applied. I think Grant is likely right on the reason.
The only numbers I've seen on CMPs is on the side of the frame on Cab 11 and 12 Fords and one 1942 F15A had it stamped by the drivers side motor mount. I've never seen a number stamped into a Chev frame.
