If the markings are correct on the door of the above photo's truck, it leads to a few interesting anomolies. The upper number of 43-30207 would appear to be a CAR (Later called CFR) number using the 43 build date. However the 30207 number falls into the numbering block for the Jeeps. I have never seen a CFR based on a WW2 date, nor a CFR of a non-1/4 ton vehicle in that block back then.

I would have to check on the 22-211 number. Vehicles other than motorcycles, were to be numbered starting at 50-001. Motorcycles would be 2-001. I'm not sure if the RCAF used a different system or numbering block.

Default RCAF-1 Machinery Lorry Equipment

It appears to be the same vehicle that was used to illustrate this manual.
