What other details do you have for your truck?

I see there are a lot of other WR392XXXX numbers on Australian C15s and C15As, notably a series of 1944 built WO8 with ARNs in the 142XXX range.

OK... going by the build year (and that of others) it would seem unlikely it is a 1940 engine.

So no ARN or WO number.

I do have details that my C15A was built @ 1944 and was assembled in Brisbane.

I am trying to identify the date of my engine as parts for the 1940 version 216 engines are different to later models, so I need to identify the exact build year.

I have found that the WR on the serial number indicates that the engine was made in 1940-43 and was a right hand drive vehicle, but I am after a more precise date.

Yes, the production date is not included in the Army registration book.

Also whoever stamped 8444 for the WO number should have put the WO number, not chassis type code there.

Sydney and I think Brisbane assembled vehicles had the production date on the gearshift instruction plate rather than the data plate which is why it is often missing.

Mike Cecil did provide some details of the vehicle in one of the other threads, but wasn't able to provide any specific dates.

Hi Scott, The 3 at the start of the chassis no. indicates 1943 build. My Sydney built C15A is also a 1943 one with an engine no. of WR 3924587.
