Default Markings

Greetings:

WRT the markings as shown:

The configuration of 52-300 suggests the post war CAR (Canadian Army Registration) number. Applied to the sides of both doors, and the 52 has nothing to do with any year.

The faint square on the right hand front side indicates the usual placement of either the unit or formation sign. I say either/or because these two signs were switched post war, and since this vehicle's CAR is post war, then the square would indicate where the unit sign would be applied.
