Default Data plate

I would have thought that the original data plate and a rebuild plate would have been extant to identify for parts, maintenance, etc. I would have also thought that the Contract number would have been quoted. The blueprints of the rebuild from the /MG Portee to the /AT clearly show that it was rebuilt from... to...I am no expert as you know but surely the rear chassis/bodies would have differed between the Predictor variants and the Mobile Gun platform?

IN FACT IN COMPARING THERE ARE SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCES IN THE BASIC TRUCKS, I.E. THE C8/P AND THE C.8/MG, AND THEN AGAIN FROM THE C8/FAT.
