The tag shown in Didier's post is mounted with screws, most body serial tags I've seen were riveted. (There shouldn't be a need to remove and re-attach a serial number tag.)
Also, it shows 5W1A as the body type which was a GS body meant for use on 158-160 inch wheelbase CMP and MCP trucks. The 5W1 was a CKD GS body of bolted construction, 147" long, with wheelhouses. The 5W1A variant was designed for airportability, with the floor having a transverse split ahead of the wheelhouses. The inside height of the side panels is listed as 30". None of these characteristics seem to match the body on Didier's truck so my guess is that at some time an available (but not correct) tag was attached to the body.
