Here's a few pics showing the 6-digit Indian numbering system. Presumably they were issued in blocks of of 9,000 (4 large digits, starting at 1000 to avoid initial zero, possibly with sub-allocations in blocks of 1000) and the blocks were numbered consecutively (2 small digits, starting at 10). By the end of the war they were up to the low 20's. The last pic was taken in 1965 and they were up to block 46. Placement was generally RH front bumper and RH rear body, plus both doors like the British.
