Thanks again Tony - buoyed by what you have told me already I have attached pix of chassis number - plus pix of tags below passenger windscreen and under bonnet hoping this reveals more about this Blitz.
And yes Luke, Tony tells me it is Anti Aircraft Light Machine Gun! Keen as to know what that looks like. And were Sunshine cabs a late war thing?

28444
That's better, 8444 is the GM code for a C15A, the roadster cab is the sunshine roof. The earlier 8443 was for a C60L, or 158" wheelbase. So your corrected chassis number will need to be discovered in AWM 126 to find out it's original configuration. Most were fitted with the Australian No2 or 2A GS rear body which itself had a number of different fit outs such as Office for example.
So hold your horses on the AALMG bit - many were fitted with that mount on the LH side of the cab for a bren gun. Tony's information was based on a different chassis number. There was a Polsten version of a C15A but yours is not yet confirmed.

Found it!
Your truck was a model WO16 Battery Staff Wireless which used a GS steel body. It was not a Wireless Signals van, just carried a wireless. Your ARN was 65638 and engine number WR3821667.
So alas, no AALMG.

Ah, OK - so this number on the bonnet that gave Tony the AALMG info does not match what the chassis number tells us?

Numbers
That's right - they were not numbered on top of the bonnet - it was either side of the bonnet so the number is spurious and happened to link to a different truck.
ARN 65638 is based on your chassis number and is the correct one for your truck. At least you now know! Quote:

I see - thankyou very much (say it like Elvis)
Does the info on the tags guarantee it is the original cab for that chassis?
