Default Dates

Yes, the production date is not included in the Army registration book.

Also whoever stamped 8444 for the WO number should have put the WO number, not chassis type code there.

Sydney and I think Brisbane assembled vehicles had the production date on the gearshift instruction plate rather than the data plate which is why it is often missing.

Mike Cecil did provide some details of the vehicle in one of the other threads, but wasn't able to provide any specific dates.

Hi Scott, The 3 at the start of the chassis no. indicates 1943 build. My Sydney built C15A is also a 1943 one with an engine no. of WR 3924587.

I've had a look around and can't see David credited or mentioned and note he has put his own copyright notice on.
Don't know if the site owner has read the comments on MLU, but David is now credited at the very bottom.
