Rod,

Forgot to mention: the '41' etc under the bonnet/on the firewall is part of the underbonnet nomenclature required by the Army for all vehicles from around August 42. Vehicles already in service were supposed to have it applied by units (but were not always), so we see a wide variety of methods of application on older in-service vehicles - rough or well hand painted depending on the skill of the 'artist' and the ease of access. Stenciled like yours is less common on vehicles already in service, making the marking's preservation something you might consider as you progress with the restoration.

Mike
