Canadian contract jeeps (was: CDLV 505 Jeep Serial numbers...)

[Barry Hampton]

for Wim

Thanks for info on 242 contract numbers. The only photo I can find of a slat grill Jeep that shows the hood number (not very clearly) is of a slat grill marked with Canadian maple leaf on red/black/red background and white 9 on black background over a white bar. The hood number appears to be CM1165501 - only the 6 is unclear.
This Jeep has the lifting rings and headlight guards.

Not sure if Jeep has square tank well (118600 or earlier).

From the G503 forum I was told 242 contract took in seriel 118601 (or 118697) to 120600.

Also seen photo of Slat grill in Italy with hood number CM 4231261
