I no longer have access to the DND database where these numbers are listed. Scotty or some of the others here should be able to fix you up though.

There were many extra jeeps held in Wainwright for use on RVs and general issue to courses or ex's. In the early 90s they were issuing some of the CJ7s for the same purpose; our Padre got one issued but we had so much fun with it he finally had to come asking for it back.

As Rob mentioned, I can have a boo on the MSE Database when I go back to work next week. FWIW, both of the MUTTs I have/had never had the CFR marked anywhere on them. Pulling it off the Database is the probably going to be the easiest.

Do us all a favour and post up some pictures. I'd love to see them, Tan paint or not.

Scotty
