Thank you Alex, also for your perfect copy of the carrier manual.

But now I came across something different, I found out my wrecker started lifa as a breakdown 4 and was changed into a no 5, by restamping the dataplate from 4 to 5 and adding a winterisating kit, and also the contract number was changed, from LV 1514 to SM 6056, I know from mr, Piet van Voorden, who also owns a wrecker from that contract, it were 88 wreckers delivered to the British, but this contract is from sept 1943 and ours is from febr. 1943 so before the contract date, my question is who knows something about the first contract my wrecker was ordered: LV 1514

Thanks

Can any one explain the meaning of the suffix -M-TP added to the chassis model number C-60444-M-TP. How does this relate to the breakdown configuration?
