Default Chassis Number

I found the chassis number just where Paul suggested.... well after some cleaning and sanding. From the number I presume that it was made by Ford or Wolsley as only these two manufactures made more than 3979 units. Of course that is if the chassis number started at 0 for a contact, and that is by no means sure. However I hope that I may be able to trace the number either in the disposal records (kew?) or the Belgian army records, we will have to see. Any opinions or clues welcome.

You will also see that due to range damage the left hand front chassis rail where the number is located was detached once the front axle had been removed.
