While this gearbox makers plate is fairly straight forward and coincidentally has the same serial number as my prep school number.

The RCEME rebuild data plate did not photograph well at all. It is impossible to see the printing but the stampings are plain enogh but can anyone decipher them? We think the strings read as follows:

Location of rebuild "204 BWS", is that 204 Base work shops?

We think that "6 6 62" is the dte of rebuild ie sixth of June 1962

We think the initials "R L S" are those of the inspector or mechanic doing the rebuild.

Despite there being a small neat and tidy makers plate located on the dash under the steering wheel there is this larger hand stamped plate on the left side air duct. It is very poorly laid out and seems to have been done by eye.
