I realize this is a bit of an older post, but your number could well be correct. It is the earlier Canadian DND style of numbering, used domestically until the 42/43 time period. The first two digits (42) are the year, the 1 is on all the DND numbers assigned, and the remaining digits (can be anywhere from one to for digits) are assigned to that particular vehicle.
There should have been periods located inside the number: 41.1.4045
As near as I can tell, by reviewing some local war diaries, the numbers seem to have been assigned regionally, as opposed to at the factory.
When the system changed later, the new style numbering was painted over top of the earlier numbers.
