What are these brass plates

[Tony Smith]

Here is the "Original Style" plate that was fitted to my Jeep. I use the inverted commas, as due to the style of rivets used, it is apparent that the plate was re-fitted or added at a much later point in the vehicle's life and may have not been period original.

But for interest, here's one for a CMP. Interesting point is the overstamping where the vehicle was apparently modified from a GS No2 to Fire Tender.

Hi Tony - Kieth

Thanks for the update, that is the first time I have seen an original plate and I can now see the differences. I can see how as a newcomer to restoration how easy you could be led astray with non original items.

Cheers

As pointed out by others, these were fitted to a variety of Aust Army vehicles. As Keith has started the ball rolling by showing a Blitz one, here's a couple of others; Blitz Ambulance, and Studebaker.
