Can anybody advise what these numbers/letters should be, I do have the original chassis/rebuild plate on the truck which is on the passenger side chassis rail by the step, would some of this data be transfered to this small plate that would of been fitted inside the cab.

Mike,

If you have the post war WD number on the chassis plate, ie 00YR01 style, then you can initiate a search of the Key Cards at the RLC Museum, Deepcut. On the entry against your postwar number, will be the original WD census number. Then looking at the Chilwell Census number list for "B" vehicles, the Contract and Cat Ref numbers can be found.
