Default T 28945

T28945 (if I understand correctly) from Nigel watsons book, is from the first U.C. carrier contract to Ford of Canada, and would be the 105th. one built.
Contract CDLV73, Nos. CT28841 to CT29140. (qty 300)
It would be interesting to know the upper and lower hull numbers.
A very early MkI*

Well the numbers are what I can see from my pictures. I don´t see any T or TC so there can be more numbers also. Weather was awfull with a lot of rain and the combination of poor clothing and a tens overgrowth the photosession was cut down to a minimum...

Any thoughts about the insignia?

Erik

Sorry, I have no idea about the insignia.
There is no "Sight' on top of the steering box housing, indicating an early carrier.
does it have the sprung loaded arms on top of the adjustable bogie brackets?

Erik -

Lynn beat me to it !

'Insignia' looks like a yellow 19 on a black square, poss the 'Arm of Service (AoS)' marking...various clour combinations denoting the unit. Unfortunately, I have little idea of Canadian AoS but someone out there will...I will try to do some digging.
