If this is correct then I presume your vehicle must have passed through more than one unit as the tactical marking for 22CAR was 52.

Nice find... and therefore it will exist elsewhere in the records.

269916 - Appears to have been received by F squadron 25 CADR on 27th March 45 from 164 Vehicle Park.

Not sure who/what 164 vehicle park were (hope someone else knows), however this may support the belief the vehicle was transferred from another unit. Presumably the vehicle was issued to 22 CAR shortly after this
