Thanks mate!

I did a bit of a search actually on the web for free fonts and nearly got a 100% match- its about 99%.

Using the AWM site jeep pics as a basis for what i am looking for and matching what i need to similar serial numbers around that which i am going to apply, i was able to find something VERY similar! Its interesting when you look at the fonts used, there are several on jeeps. A military stencil type, a solid letter type, a larger solid letter type (based on post war pics and marking scheme order) and a scroll/more decorative type with the ends/tails of the letter with a bubble type shape (post war pics).

I can email the font i managed to find if anyone wants.

I believe the difference in war time fonts is based on where or which vehicle park the ARN was applied at. Those who maybe had sign writers and those who didnt etc?



Thankyou though! Its handy to know though about those number plates. Would be good for a wide range of those vehicles- inters, landys, stude's etc!

Cheers,
Ian.
