I think when census numbers were attached to armoured vehicles they stamped the numbers on so as to aid in identification of vehicles damaged in operations.
Factory photos. Carriers that stayed in Canada have them stamped, which would not have been needed for those that never went overseas (they all had them).

I've never seen a stamped census number on a Fox or Otter, only factory applied painted ones.
