Willys MB script hood number

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

I would argue that very few contract 505 jeeps made it all the way from issue, to overseas and then loaded aboard a ship on its way to Normandy in 1944.

When done - he wants to mark it as HLIofC, post DDay.

Can someone suggest a range of appropriate hood numbers for this truck?

Data plate reads as follows:

155720 (Frame)?

180715 (Engine)?

505 (Contract)?

7-1-42 Date



many thanks
