There wouldn't be much point to putting the marking on anything that wasn't in Germany.

Thank you, your M216 is one I do not have a record of.

The EDR viewer only captured data from around 1978 and later. If the vehicle was released before then, it will not show up on the database.


That said,the serial number of 2568 seems a little high for a Canadian dump. I wonder if the serial numbering was consecutive for all Canadian production, regardless of model. Or was this truck bought off US inventory. Then again, I don't think the US military used the m216, but rather the dual wheel M215.

I'm surprised nobody has asked yet...how about some photos of the truck and it's markings.

121602568 falls within the serial number range of the other M216CDNs I have on record.

Further to the rebuild in Japan, these tags are very plentiful on Sherman tank differential units that I have salvaged from the Pacific Northwest

Hopefully a few pictures. Now it isn't pretty hence my idea of having it as a large garden ornament. Definitely straighten the hood/bonnet and just do other little things to tidy it up, like getting a new glass cut for the windscreen.
