Despite this appearing for all intents and purposes an untouched, original F15 4x2, the Data Plate describes this truck as being an F15A 4x4!! Even shows the parts book as being F15A-01! Right plate, as it the Engine Number is listed as 3G19974F.

Another, but lesser mystery, is that the truck is shown as a '42 truck with a build date of 3.7.44!

Very interesting, Tony I have seen one other with the contract number and the date supports yours:

SM 2201 F15A441M 36830 F15A Cab 13 3G20006F 13.6.44 131527

The clue would appear to be the '421' in the data plate - could it be someone stuffed up and stamped an 'A' in there - because it is still stamped as '421' despite the 'A' and parts book reference.
