Default Hood number

Hello All,

Here is a website where you see a group of re-enactors in Normandy whose members claim to be truer than true. I met him few times and their president has a "Canadian" Willys MB on which the number that appears on the side of the hood is CM4402587. In 2009, I asked him if there was not a small error using CM44 and he replied with a vindictive military tone "Oh no sir, it's CM44 and it's documented". You'll see some pictures of this group and the markings in question by clicking the following link:

What are your opinions on this hood number because I always beleive that the Canadian hood numbers for the jeeps began by CM42 and sometime by CM55 at the end of the war?
