For the record, British War Department (WD) Numbers were alloted in line with vehicle classes listed below:
  • A - Ambulance
  • C - Motorcycle
  • F - Armoured Car or Scout Car
  • H - Tractors (ie Artillery tractors)
  • L - Lorry (30 cwt or heavier)
  • M - Car (staff car, jeep, etc.)
  • S - Self-Propelled Gun
  • T - Universal Carrier or Tank
  • X - Trailers of all types
  • Z -Truck (15 cwt and smaller)
Vehicles built under Canadian contracts had a "C" added in front of the British WD number.
