Default Data Plate?

Is there a data plate on the truck DN? I am wondering whether I might be able to find any details of it from my registration listings: is the rego number original and still there? I have to say that inmy experience the C15As were demobbed and auctioned/acquired by various outfits including GM Ltd in Southampton by 1948, say 1949 latest. These were either rebuilt/refurbished or literally sold as seen and the last would have been registered around 1951 say. The Southampton operation had pretty well dried up by 1951. So in the absence of any rego number, and I can tell you roughly which month/year from my records given the number, that would give you some idea of when in the 1950s it was in service.

Wish I knew more about its history...given a rego we might be able to look it up in old County archives if I have not got the details.
