I believe Ian to be right with his 'Returned To Duty' for RTD. The vehicle serial number should ID the year and if it is different to 9-13-44 then Ian and I are correct.

If the owner wants to restore it as an RAAF one then the white RAAF numbers and other markings are the ones to keep but I'd still record the US one's as the history of the vehicle from new may be able to be found using them. The Dodge Forum may be able to help. http://forum.ww2dodge.com/

To find something with this level of interesting stenciling intact is very special - I believe it would be worth a lot more in future for these to be preserved rather than obliterated in a repaint.

Think in American

... September 13, 1944...

The history website or http://www.brainyhistory.com/days/september_13.html shows a few battle dates..

There are a few significant dates at that time... One may be intimately connected with that vehicle...
