Default Numbers

Hello Mike,

Did you look at the other door, ccould sometimes be much better, in WWII often the reg.number was only painted on the right door.

Green Greetings Hendrik

Default Early markings

Your door (and the truck if it belongs to the door) has the early type of markings used in Canada ("Unit" over "class of vehicle" in this case truck or "Z" over a "5 digit number". This was changed some time in 1942 to a 5 digit number in the form of XX-XXX and dates the dorr to 1942 at least.
