The only reason that the CFR could be out of series like that is if a new CFR was assigned. When a license plate was lost or stolen, the CFR was supposed to be replaced with a new one. The new number would be whatever CFR was due to be issued next from the puzzle palaces higher up. Of course, this caused a great deal of confusion on the mechanic side of the world, and I am sure it likely caused confusion on the logistics side as well.
Our tool cribs used to have the blank plates, the numbers, and the little maple leafs, so we just made replacement plates of the original CFR number,and nobody higher up ever had to know.
Clive, your number also appears to be a bit out. If your truck is a Cdn2 (as the hubcaps on the back axle indicate), and the CFR is 07824, then it should have been preceded by either a 67 or a 68.
