The Numbers stamped into the metal in front of the Driver (For lack of the proper descriptor) were as follows from Left to Right-

CT 115075 S O (or 0) 1942 9503 (Then a 2 and 1 laying over horizontally to the right)

Thats is all I could see after some minir scuffing with a 3M Pad. I will bring some white-out to try and make them more legible.

On the angle iron behind the Gunner's Head was stamped CP 1636.

I have been digging through Nigel's Books but can't seem to locate that serial Number range.

Hi James
Is there a chance the WD No. is 113075? I can't make out the 5 very clearly so was wondering if it was a 5 or 3. CT113075 would make it contract CDLV213.

Also the 2 lying to the right is an inspection mark and the 1 is likely to be the tail of the arrow which usually goes with the 2.

Not sure what the S or 0/O is unless the S is a 5 for month of manufacture which usually precedes the date.

Anyway congrats on another carrier saved and great project.

Nigel
