Mystery Brow Pads

Nope, 99 is the country code for the UK.

The US used 00 until they exhausted their possible numbers around 1974. After that, they went to 01, and are well on the way to using those up. After that they have reserved from 02 to 10.

Thanks, Rob: that's what I get for working from a poor memory!

They look very much like Daimler ferret drivers side periscope brow pads to me.

So while we are at it, Is "00" the code for USA origin?

[Robin Craig]

They have been identified as Ferret.

Thanks to all

Yes. The NSN numbering system was a modification of the US federal stock number (FSN) system. The addition of the 00 in between the stock class and the part number made a FSN into a NSN.

'99' is the UK...

...and some wag assigned '66' as the country code for Australia.

'99' is UK. The key to this question is the 9ASC mark. This identifies the primary application and could well be Ferret but I cannot confirm that. 9ACR is FV430 family and 9GWRP is Saxon if that helps anyone !

Funny enough, when I was in AFG Task Force 66 was the Aussie SF.
