Does anyone have any idea of a font that is close to or exactly the font used by Commonwealth vehicles in WWII?

Tim,

On British vehicles of the period, many were in the style of attached photo. This is one of the Dingos which I have restored. On one of them, after rubbing down, an original number was found and traced, it was Stencil font, on printing the number on the computor and sizing it, it matched the tracing exactly. Note the letter is of a plain bold font and does not always appear in Stencil font.
