Default SERIAL NUMBER RUN

The Serial Number is the 'chassis number' but thanks to the British contract number on the build plate we know the War Department [British Army] Census Number run:

Z 5335321 to 5339617 SM 2674 'TRUCK 15 CWT 4 X 2 G/S' 128½ “ W.B.

The Census Number would be on the hood and be in that sequence.

The C 15428 VAN indicates Canadian 15-cwt, 4 wheels, 2-wheel drive and that it originally had a 'Van' body but others can elaborate more than I can! Also note the 'Cab 21' which I have not come accross before..in the 'first style' Series 11/21/41.
