Bonnet swaps
The bonnets were sometimes swapped around during workshop maintenance. The mechanics often didn't care about reg. numbers
The Morris and other British makes usually have a small brass contract plate fixed onto the dash panel. The contract cards will give you the W.D. reg. Numbers range allocated to each contract. I have a CS8 fitted with a bonnet that is displaying a W.D. Z prefix number , unfortunately that number doesn't fit into the range of WD numbers allocated to that particular CS8 contract, in this case the bonnet has been swapped Not sure about PNG numbers ? The O prefix reg. system was probably peculiar to Palestine only. The PU I found at Winton has this contract nr., on the brass dash plate. Thanks to Rory Ballard for locating the card.
