I now see what you mean. Looks like the tried to alter "Model" into "Code"?

I'll see if I can see it on the other plate.

That was my guess as well. No idea why that would be necessary, but sure a fun little detail.

Default Z-4228599

Pic of a C8A with census number Z4228599. Not a HUM, but it may help narrowing down the census number range:

Default HUW Number

Original number found on a 1942 HUW in England. There was discussion but no resolution what the "T" meant.

Default HUP census numbers

From the list of vehicles of HQ 1st Can Army previously posted on this forum, I have kept a list of "HUP's" which may or may not include HUM's - it does include HUW's and HUA's - the relevant number ranges are as follows:
4213848 - 4214200
4228061 - 4229581
4236644 - 4236729

The total ranges may have been greater than this of course.

I don't think the Ford list has UK census numbers.Not in my copy at least.

By the way, the "M" prefix in the census lists stand for Motor car - let's remember English as she was spoke back then!

"M" = Motor car
"L" = Lorry
"C" = (motor) Cycle (I get it...the M was already taken)

...but... "Z" = what? Zruck ????
