Canadian contract jeeps (was: CDLV 505 Jeep Serial numbers...)

[Eric B]

Hello

According to my list of vehicles.

The two clearly marked Jeep CM numbers are:

CM4284888 I have as a Ford GPW (possibly 1945)
and CM4218939 was a MB (possibly 1942 CDN Contract) loaned to the British.

I say possible as it is not confirmed but is surrounded on each side by like vehicles.

When vehicles were loaned they kept the CM number, but if the vehicle was given then the C was removed (or added if given to Canada).

We traded back and forth as needed.

Some Canadian contract vehicles never served in a Canadian unit as a result.

Thanks

Eric
