With regard to the page from AWM 126, I'd like to make a few comments:

Item
(1) W.A. assembled in W.Aust by Holdens Ltd or also known as GMH: No: the 'WA' means taken on charge by Army in Western Australia. This column does not refer to place of construction/assembly, (or the manufacturer) though in some instances, the state of taking on charge and state within which the constructor is located may be the same.
(2) ARN these run consecutively down the page 67809 to 67840 :agree. The AWM126 registers are in sequential order of registration number, from 1 to 19,999 but with significant gaps. The last registers actually finish before that final number, but it was the final block of numbers issued to Army - the RAAF were allocated 200000 onwards.
(3) Cvt ( Chevrolet ) truck:
(4) ? looks like 15 , could be 15 cwt: weight class column, so 15 meaning 15cwt
(5) Wireless Signals ( all on this page appears to be wireless/signals either c15 or c15a: agree.
(6) Engine numbers ( note that those prefixed with SR were fitted to the c15 and those with WR were fitted to c15a ) assume they come from different factories as part of knock down kits
(7) Chassis Numbers ( numbers run from 2-8421-00098 to 2-8421-00108 then 2-8444-157 to 2-8444-00168 , then back to the 8421 chassis’s again
(8) Model ie c15 or c15a
(9) Model year ie 42
(10) Wheel base 101’’
(11) Tyre Size 9.00x16
(12) Department of Supply and Development ie disposed of to the Dept of Supply and Development in the post-war period.
(13) Written Off Board of ……… ( not clear , could be supply ) 'Written off Board of Survey' ; a standard Army term for writing off an item of equipment.
(14) R…….. Dept ( not clear ): 'Premiers Department': ie disposed of to the Premiers Department, except the state is not stated!
(15) Notice the change in Chassis prefix to 8444 ( c15a )
(16) Notice change in chassis prefix to 8421 ( c15 )
(17) Unable to make out , could be S PARK or S PAKK: written in red, so part of the disposals information: Sold from a Sub-Park, ie ordnance depot subpark. There are various indicators in the red lettering as to where (which state: WA - West Aust, SA - South Aust. Most were sold to GM-H, mostly written as 'Holdens Ltd' on this page.
