I think it's the initials of the inspector.

Ordnance inspectors
These initials are from Col. D.N. Hauseman, Ordnance chief from Philadelphia Ordnance district from August 1942 to December 1943.

While we're at it, here are some more: M3 Medium, 1942, Ordnance acceptance marking "RZC": 22195410_1468729249872721_8617549038774110844_n.jpg Ram II, 1943, Ordnance acceptance marking "BOH": 13537556_1040894969322820_3609466308085330342_n.jpg M4A3(105)W, 1945, Ordnance acceptance marking "ABQ": 21433042_1452184484860531_6084503411851198115_n.jpg So who were the counterparts of Col. D.N. Hauseman? I guess it is a study on its own.... Thanks, Hanno

Hello Hanno,
RZC is Col. R.Z. Crane, Ordnance chief of the Detroit district from June 1938 to June 1942. He was succeded by "ABQ" Brig. Gen. A.B. Quinton Jr. who fulfilled the job from June 1942 throughout the rest of the war. For that reason ABQ is quite common found on armored vehicle dataplates. I have a note somewhere on "BOH" which i can't find now. It is on Grizzly dataplates also. Marco
