Help Please - Formation/arm of service/serials for Australian vehicle

[Ian McCallum]

Thanks Jack, appreciate your efforts.

I have already searched the AWM site under various searches including 'formation signs' 'Chevrolet 15cwt./van' etc, plus many Goggle searches.

I have seen and copied the data you attached, but as you say this appears to be from possibly the '39-'43 period.

A number of sites and photo's show the 'combined ' formation/tactical sign but most appear to be total black background indicating possibly HQ. I have not seen one with combined Infantry, RAA, etc.

There is actually a picture posted on my previous enquiry in the 'Softskin' section that shows a combined patch, on a Chevrolet 15cwt Van, for the Army Film Unit. This however appears to be an all black background.

As this photo is possibly in New Guinea I could use the sequence of vehicle numbers as a guide, assuming it is a late registered vehicle. Its things like load/speed signs/markings and not knowing if they were still in use by '44-'45.

Once again, many thanks for your continued effort.

Ian
