I know many parts were different between Canadian and Australian trucks, but I have doubts about at least the left hand plate in the two plate configuration shown above. A spot light seems odd for a wartime truck. As well, the lettering for the cab light label seems to be placed over the border line around the edge of the plate. The printing also looks "off", but that could be my eyes. I'm more used to seeing black printing to match the border on the plate.

On a related topic, does any one know how it was decided for trucks using the 2 plate configuration whether the left plate was set up for 5 switches or for 6?

Default Five Switch Plate

Hi Grant - the problem with this plate is that the original scripting was painted over and removal of that paint in the field would have destroyed the original. Therefore a couple of those descriptions could be incorrect. WIPER could even be WIPERS. This is why I have been asking for a better example, that at this stage surprisingly, has not been forthcoming. My two main Blitz gurus have been silent on this topic.
