Hi all - read below

RFS/OE
Armoured Fighting Vehicles Divn. Salmon Street, Fisherman’s Bend.
16th March, 1942.

MEMORANDUM:
REGISTRATION ARMY MECHANICAL VEHICLES. MECH. CIRCULAR 307

Serial and registration numbers for the armoured fighting vehicle production
programme, have been allotted as follows:-

CARRIERS 2 - PDR. ANTI - TANK (AUST.)

Metropolitan Gas Co., Melbourne, have been allotted Serial Numbers 6001 6200 against Order No. CCV. 102, including one (1) number for the pilot model.

etc.etc

Inspector General
of Munitions.
cc. D. of Mech.

However there appears to be a slight conflict. According to Mike Cecil in one of his publications, the numbering started at 6000. I'm not sure what "including one (1) number for the pilot" means.

Bob
