CAR/CFR was used on vehicles, guns, and any high cost equipment for which tracking was required. I have seen it for certain weapons system. They were always the same format as the usual CFRs.

I would suggest you have overlapping numbers...it looks like some of them are a smaller format than the others.

One of the curators at work mentioned that the tops of every number will be different from the others, so you may be able to decipher the numbers using that technique.
