Does it read H427979x?

As per the Chillwell list, that number is part of the block 4200000 - 4299999 "Canadian not on 'B' Census". But not listed on WD Census Numbers allotted to Canadian Forces in England (1942) which only runs up to 423-. That means the number on this FWD was one from a range assigned after July 1943.
