Neat document.
Salvage value was $433.28. The $649.20 represents the loss to the crown as the result of the accident.
I note their math does not quite add up. I guess it was the days before pocket calculators.
The design branch records give some costs for each vehicle, but more-so for special vehicles like the armoured snowmobile ($8,000 IIRC) or the tanks.
For estimating the value of vehicles before an accident, we used to use the Repair Expenditure Limit (REL) tables. There you take the cost of the vehicle when it was new, and use the relevant chart and find the percentage based on age vs mileage. Sounds like they may have been doing that back then as well. Now you just punch the data into a DND website.
