Rob,
I should not have included the pre-fix numbers. My M38A1 has adhesive numbers on the dash (printed over with at least three coats of paint) but does not include the prefix. and my use of the "70-" was an assumption.
As the date of manufacture was Nov 1967 can I assume (there I go again) that the CFR should be 67 - xxxxxx?
I may be able to source a pair of DND plates but can anyone tell me where to source the numbers?

In all likelihood the prefix on yours will be 67, but being so close to the end of the year it may also be 68. Somewhere in my mess of papers I think I have some of the old Crown Assets sales sheets which might give a breaking point for the 67/68 prefix. I believe the prefix had more to do with when the vehicle was taken in to service than the year it was built. I had seen commercial vehicles with the next year prefix assigned to them; not often but it did exist.

I have seen numbers very similar to that used on the plates available at various hardware stores.

Thanks to BB3 I had a chance to see my M38A1 in detail. The CFR number I previously quoted is on the windshield frame, however, this is a replacement and the jeep's actual CFR is 67-07800. These numbers can be seen on the rigth side sill.
Jeep is scheduled to go to Don Dingwall's for some work.

Hi,
I own M38A1Cdn2, Serial Number 7105 06879, CFR 67-07832, It was manufactured in November 1967. So the cutoff for starting CFR 68 must be farther back behind me.
