Hi Mike
cheers for the info I did a long reply but thats got lost?

C for Ceylon.

Bonnet was probably swapped here or post war,

wd no.s came with the Army Book so had to match the chassis and engine no.(frame/eng.no m/cs)
ROC ones destroyed.
Austin trucks(not Ambulances) are in the main in sequence, as are Norton m/cs,
BSA a bit mixed.

I have picture of two Austin Ambulance with the AMF no. 1207004,both in NSW, one ambulance has is a 1 MD.sticker.

in roc records there are two Austin Amblances with the same WD no.
one had the chassis no altered to match the bonnet no.
so it happens.

3 AACC had AUSTIN 1 and AUSTIN 2, for two of its Austin Ambulances.

8 cwt. Early in the war 15 cwts all had aero screens. Also, only 8cwts (and 4x2 portees) had 'windows' in the canvas.

While we are looking at pics of NZ CS8s ...
I am thinking of replicating mine with the markings of the pic Rupert posted of the one over the sandbag pits (plate 9143) - there are a few other pix of same vehicle in that wonderful NZ photo collection.
Am guessing the silver fern emblem is white on black but am yet to find someone who can tell me the colour behind the 12 on opposite front guard?
Any clues, more pix appreciated.
