Given what Richard says, this may be a British army application. The stencils you mention on Daimler scout cars, were they factory applied or by the army later?

Alternatively, Dave "alleramilitaria" Demorrow, you mention stenciling inside tool boxes, etc. Do you mean white painted stencilling or stamping of part numbers (of which Ford of Canada was particularly fond of doing)? What do they say? By the 2" mortar tin, do you mean tne rectangular bin with the open mouth facing the gunner under the hole for the gun (which I think it rightly for the operator's manual)? Does it specifically mention 2' mortar rounds?

Bottom line...did Ford of Canada stencil stowage nmarkings on Carriers at the factory? If so, all, or from a certain type of carrier or specific date....or....were the markings above added later by the army, and if so, how common and from when?
