The diamond may indicate a armoured unit ..my first C8, a cab 12 , from 1981 , had the same diamond on it ..plus the 1st Aust. Armoured Div sign on the cowl. Z4544 was the reg. prefix too . You are certainly dragging them in ..where you been fishing ? I see it has correct wheels , at least two . Mike

data
looking at the numbers on your plate compared to the 1981 C8 cab 12 .
Yours serial: 1842020176 Mine 1842008354 engine: yours 3712802 Mine 3692055 Yours has a somewhat higher serial number compared to mine ..by 11822 units ... They may have stamped the plates ..not by model, but buy production line sequence ..? Mike

Thanks Mike
with those sorts of numbers it does seem likely They must really have been cranking them out by that stage Would be interesting to see production numbers and models for each production year  Found a couple of interesting blocks bolted in behind the seats of the c8 today At a guess to hold crank handle and the like Even more interesting they had traces of green paint on them Would these be be possibly added in the field
