New M38A1 is now home!!!!

Got a recent decent deal on it. Has new tires, new batteries and even a full jerrycan!

Can someone out there tell me if the CFR# would be anywhere other than the top lh frame rail? This one is a bit of a mystery as it appears that there may have been some repair to this area, possibly scrubbing the cfr away by grinding although with copious amounts of paint there it may be hidden underneath. Further investigation is required.

It does carry a cfr on the hood and dash of 70-08669 which does exist in the database and does corelate to the VIN of 10071 as on the ownership. Did the CF ever use black lettering for this as this is what is on the jeep? The problem I am having here is that by all accounts it appears to be a Canadian M38A1 CDN3 but has brass American Marine Corps data tags that are old NOS but unstamped???? Possibly just a set someone threw on???

It has 10" brake drums, turn sigs, hot water heater, un hinged type grill etc but has wire mesh headlight guards, again maybe an addition? I thought these guards were typical of the 1952 era M38A1s? It does have holes in the grill for the bar type guards as well.
