Are you able to show a picture of where exactly I would find these further numbers you mentioned. Thanks again

I'd go easy with the pressure washer The vehicle number will be heavily weathered and easily obliterated. Sometimes the paint itself will already be gone, leaving only a "shadow" of less weathered body colour. Once the number disappears, it's gone. Take the time for a real slow look.

Dave has already shown one example of where to find the ARN (Army Registration Number), on the bonnet. They can also be on the flat panels in front of the windscreen, and on the sides of the cowls.

I agree about the pressure washer. Its more for the underside cleaning off mud on ball joints and such rather than hitting any of the original paint. I have been told that the colour indicates it was Air force (RAAF) and have not found any reference to the number on the door.
Where specifically would you find the engine number located?
Cheers

If you have numbers on doors too, some pics of those would be good to decipher any numbers.

Paint colour looks like faded Army, there's even remnants of a cam pattern on the RH cowl. The red interior is a "bit different".

The number will be painted on the flat panel in front of the windscreen. In one of the pics you posted, a number is visible, but it cannot be made out because of glare and shadow. A clearer pic will reveal it.

If you have an engine, the engine number will be located on a flat area next to the distributor, towards the rear of the engine
