Re Naafi vehicles, there were 2 arms to Naafi, during WW2 in UK purely civillian manned, I do not recall seeing anything special about reg numbers possibly all registered from the NAAFI HQ in London. But nothing I have seen leads me to believe they were from HMG LCC blocks.
In operational areas overseas the title became NAAFI/EFI EFI = Expeditionary Forces Institute. under the control of RASC all personnel were in uniform and RASC badged but unarmed. Mobile canteens were supplied by Naafi , all other vehicles by WD so I presume these carried a WD census./ I will have a dig through my pictures.
Re B R C I think there major war role was in direct support of HMF often up to the front line in N W Europe.
