The round circle is possibly a bridge class marking...indicating weight rating of vehicle for crossing bridge.. I expect it would be a 7, possibly 9

The other numbers look like lot numbers from an auction.

Your truck appears to be an MCP (Modified Civilian Pattern) 60cwt rather then an F60L as well. It also was never refered to as a blitz as this was the common name for the CMP (Canadian Military Pattern) vehicles both Chev and Ford.

Any chance of more photos of the whole vehicle?

Hi Dennis
Congratulations on acquiring a cab 12 F60L CMP.

Does it still have the data plate on the side of the dash?
What about an ARN - on Australian ones they were usually painted on the top or side of the front cowl. We may be able to tell what body it originally had.
Be interested to get the details for the database, also where you're located.
