Default early M38A1 markings CFB Chilliwack

Like Mark D I was wondering what the marking should be on this vehicle.
The CFR number 53-32490 is too old to get more infor other than when it was sold etc.
Scotty tried his best...Thanks Scott! Much appreciated. It was puchased in1953 and seemed to not leave the base for another assignment to another Bn.

So it could have been Engineers or Officer school?
It did have a side mounted MG on the Right side.

Gently sanding off the paint layers I can see there were tow paint jobs...the original olive drab semi gloss still in the interior of the glove box and under the hood in places...then the Black green paint over that.
The CFR numbers are on the Black green paint as are the numbers on the front left fender...42-A which seemed to replace 41-C which was under it. These appear on the front left fender front and both sides of the hood/cowl area and are quite clear.
While sanding the right fender I came across flecks of brilliant green paint only on the fron of the right fender. So it was a decal or painted marker.

Any help would be appreaciated
Thanks Casey
