WKSP number - 22

Can anyone assist with what type of vehicle the 'M' number was allocated to? and where was workshop 22?
Hi Mike,
The details stamped on this plate appear so wrong, firstly the census number is 8 digits long and as far as I know, the largest numbers were only 7 digits long.
Classes of repair were denoted by Roman numerals, ie I, IV, etc., not letters. The inspection number was normally an inspection stamp.

regards,
Richard
