Sorry, I must have misunderstood that you had found some connections with UK T nos and AIF T nos.

Many of the early AIF numbers in Ledger 01 were for Horsedrawn vehicles of the 1st AIF (and therefore do not have the WD vehicle classes), but some numbers were re-allocated for mechanised vehicles in WW2. Also, many of the low numbers recorded in Ledger 05 are the early system of Department of Defence "DD^" numbers and were replaced by the "Cxxxx" system, which in turn became ARNs. The books do not specify at what date these changes came into effect. There is also no information regarding which units that vehicles were issued to, but there is occaisional disposal information which records a unit, which more often than not is a Base Ordnance Depot or Supply Battalion.
Light Horse Regiments were Militia units and not part of the AIF, although some re-equipped and retrained as MMG Bn's, Armoured or Mechanised Cavalry units, with
some transferring to the AIF.
It is clear that just about every book was running concurrently with other books, and that numbers were not issued consecutively.
