For the record, British War Department (WD) Numbers were alloted in line with vehicle classes listed below:
- A - Ambulance
- C - Motorcycle
- F - Armoured Car or Scout Car
- H - Tractors (ie Artillery tractors)
- L - Lorry (30 cwt or heavier)
- M - Car (staff car, jeep, etc.)
- S - Self-Propelled Gun
- T - Universal Carrier or Tank
- X - Trailers of all types
- Z -Truck (15 cwt and smaller)
Vehicles built under Canadian contracts had a "C" added in front of the British WD number.
