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".

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?
Guy;

My 2¢ worth, I have the census numbers (or WD numbers) as being from the block CM 4230597 to CM 4233122 for Canadian jeeps (Car, 5-cwt, 4x4).

Cheers
