Managed to carefully strip the paint back on the contract plate to reveal the original finish and the number.
The dash plate contract number matches the cargo body.
Anyone have details on the contract number or where I could find details?
Contract Number: 23.S.9422
Thanks

Hi,
I cannot find that contract number with army census number allocation in the Chilwell census list as it only goes up to November 1944. From your chassis number it was built in 1945. I might have expected the allocation to be in the list as later contract numbers appear and I am wondering if it was from a contract for the RAF or RN as they were not recorded in the army list.

regards, Richard
