Definitely chassis number Hanno. Frame rail part number is C01Q 5224 (RH) and 5225 (LH).
Front mounted spring bumper dates this vehicle to late '45. I recall Peter Ford mentioned SU prefix during discussion of Lauren's vehicle: "The CK- prefix, I assume, means "complete knockdown" just as SU- stands for (postwar) supplementary production however I have not seen any official explanation to confirm these meanings."
A quick check of chassis numbers found in Australia would also suggest postwar build date:
149767 26 Oct 44
149827 18 Nov 44
207538 15 Aug 45
I note also that SU-232454 is quite close to Lauren's CK-236140 chassis number with build date of 12 Nov 45.
Looks like a tidy low mileage F60L, although I hesitate to ask what that red and white monstrosity on the back may be!
