Hi Chris,going by the CFR it would make it a comms vehicle, I did have a 53 that had a U.S. data plate on the wheel well but it was a CDN vehicle , was ex 1st Hussars and had been used in Norway, the Nato cam paint was under the last coat of semi-gloss, I think at this point unless the Ottawa boys can come up with paper work on the 53's this may stay a mystery, I was unable to come up with a good answer on the other one, maybe these vehicles were aquired soldier style or were U.N. pool vehicles that we aquired , the U.S. did send vehicles to many U.N. locations without ever sending troops , some of the guys from my unit were in Sinai and the photos showed U.S. M-37 and M-715 vehicles mixed with the CDN vehicles, our 53's started coming out late sixties into the seventies , I remember seeing some in the Levy yard during that period, it was a big playground for all the local kids at that time myself being one of them, just for info Colleen's is 53-33192, can you let me know the statis of this vehicle and get me a 3/4 front photo of the 53 and your other one,
regards Frank
