If anyone has evidence of a different block of CFR numbers used on the M151s, let me know and I can verify it.

I think we accidentally found the missing 171 x M151A2 CFRs....

Eric B, Steve H and I were going through some of Erics old Militia photos and Sentinel Mags etc. In the photos were at least one M151A2 that had a different CFR block from the usual 09*** block. Eric will have to post up the number as I forgot to write it down, but it did not begin with 0. My only fear is that range of numbers may have already been re-allocated to newer vehicles.

After reading that last post on the missing 151's, I checked the sheets of all the available CFR's I had printed off. Of course I didn't notice - but yes there are a block of numbers that start with 22350 to 22519. There are also x4 M151A2's that are CFR'd as follows - 63558, 77264, 78180 and 78184. Im' not going back to the shop until Monday, so I'll check the Serial Numbers then. I still only come up with 934. I'll recheck that as well. Cheers.

The policy is (was) that is a license plate was lost or stolen, the truck would have been issued a new CFR number. It was not always done, but occasionally. This may be where the 4 oddball numbers came from. However, there should be 4 missing numbers from the normal block to make up for them.
