There were no universal standards for serial numbers until 1981. The Canadian MLVWs are generally 1982/3 with a few 1984 anomalies thrown in. They used the 17 character North American standard for serial numbers, which included the model number at the beginning of the serial, and the Canadian Forces Registration number as part of the serial number. The Iltis, which came out a year or two later, also used the same serial number pattern.
