Canadian C11ADF number ..HELP

[Mike Cecil]

As I see it, the options are very limited within the Aust Registration schemes:

AMF:
45: Morris lorry
45x: Artillery tractors
45xx: not an option?: block assigned to PMG
45xxx: possibility

AIF: (with an 'M' type prefix)
45: A Chev van
45X: all Chev 30cwt lorries
45xx: 1 ton Ford B/S

RAAF: not an option
RAN: not an option
PMG: 45xx: Possibility?

Ex-British Army/British supplied vehicle: Would have been supplied to the AIF and have an 'M' (for car) prefix plus the AIF ordinarily prefixed the Brit number with 'AIF', so unlikely from what we can see in the image. Possibly a Brit number repainted/reapplied without the 'M' or 'AIF'? (The 'M' type prefix was also used for the AIF registration system.)

Thanks for looking. I would say it is a small 5 digit reg. number , the spare tyre is hiding it which doesn't help.

The N.T. film wedding car has a faint number on the bonnet/tailgate but it is not readable.

Here is a example from F/book. Not sure of the location.

It certainly looks like one. A pick-up was what they needed so the cut down a surplus station wagon...
