Further to Richard and Ledsel's comments. I thought I'd post some pictures of the numbers locations I found on my hull. My upper hull # TI or is it TL 79140 but then the armour was cut here. Can the experts comment. The lower hull number is as Richard states. on the lop left rear rolled edge,and so faint it's barely visible I can make out an F and 44. Would this be FMC 44 or 1944. Ron

Thanks Ledsel for your comments. Referring now to the notes I made when I restored it in 98/99, I have the following to add. The lower hull # repeated for and aft is 24130. The T# along the edge of the front armour, I think is from another vehicle, as it was acquired to replace the cut front armour. The number at the left rear corner which I was able to read before painting, is F.M.co 44. It seems to be a date stamp? What you think?

Yes Ron, All the parts are dated when they were manufactured. There is probably a part no., there too but it is sometimes hard to see. On Gary's carrier though the angle iron piece at the rear is also missing so he has no numbers but the engine no..

Project
Hello Gary, looks like a good project. Don't be put off by the missing bits as over time you will find, acquire or remanufacture a lot as you go.
Best of luck with your project. Cheers Phill
