Number location
Arrow indicates where your chassis number should be. Interesting to see it appears to have the side plates for a winch - if it also has a 2 speed transfer case it is possibly a CGT chassis in which case you're looking for a 28440 chassis number. Hope this helps.

I don't know whether this applies to Australia, but I have had the experience of the Ministry of Transportation in Ontario assign a (17 digit, meets current pattern) VIN to an ex-military Sankey trailer as a replacement for the original number that was on the data plate when I bought it from Crown Assets.
Perhaps there wasn't an original data plate for your C15 and "the system" assigned a number? This is only a suggestion, no idea how likely it is to be correct.

Chassis Serial
Checked the chassis and there are no markings at all, I am just guessing that they were removed at some point. I am now using the engine number to hopefully locate the correct chassis number. Checked a few linked sites from here and the numbers are very close/fit in to a a 1942 Field Artillery Tractor 4x4 Cab 13 101" (C.GT Gun Tractor). I do have a wooden steering wheel and the sunshine roof. I am aware that they can be easily changed. Thank you also Grant.

No number
You can also look a little further back, I have seen them stamped almost under the cab.
The Australian No8 CGT had an integral steel body with a normal front roof hatch. I see yours has 16" rather than 20" wheels, if it has the higher ratio diffs then it was not a CGT. But anything can happen in a restoration/rebuild! Quote:

Chassis Details
Have had a good look on both sides and further back under the cab, just nothing visible. May find something under a bit of old paint maybe but will continue looking. Can I ask what the large stamped letter almost on its own signifies? Its a large S just in front of the bump stop bracket.

S
Normally that is at the end of the chassis number, S means Sydney assembled, so perhaps the chassis number in front of that has been obliterated...
