Hi Clive,
it would seem that both numbers were visible at the same time, there doesn't seem to be any over paint on either number, I am hoping to get onto the next door over the weekend, I need to confirm it has a similar pairing of numbers.
The CZ number became more visible than the L number, I need to confirm the L, the door was sanded a little bit prior to becoming many colours, the L shape is there, however only a little paint remains.

There is also a bit of writing in cursive on the front drivers side panel, it may have been a name, but I really can't tell at all, shame...

Andy
