I found the number M559512 on the hood.
Can one tell me more about the registration number?

Jeroen,
The prefix letter "M" would only be used on cars, or light utilities. The number actually belongs to a Bedford QL, so there is something wrong there. It may be that the truck was transfered to another countries' army after the war. This happened to a large number of vehicles as the British Army had too many and they were aid for those countries that had been overrun and had nothing. Hence, it may not be a British number.
