The CB number would usually be plus or minus a couple of hundred of the serial number. The powertrain was installed in the lower hull and the upper armour installed afterward. The busier the productoin line got, the further these numbers seemed to vary, but usually only a couple of hundred at worst. On many of the lower numbered carriers I have seen, (ie, CB608) the various numbers were within just a few digits.
There was also the hull number on the angle iron on the back left of the carrier. This number also fell within the same parameters as mentioned above.
A good place to check on these numbers is to find someone who has the old Infoex from the late Peter Ford. He had a small database of carrier numbers.
