C-15

[Robert Sexton]

Hello all, I have just acquired a C-15 with what I think is a general purpose body.The engine number gives it an ARN 60113 made in 1942.Under the engine bonnet is stenciled C15-8421-1942'Some of the designations in the vehicle registration books probably tell me more. Is there any out there who can tell me what the "V" designates and what WO1 stands for in the reghistration columns.On the left of the page is stamped "WD type- UK order 889" what does that mean?
The tyre carrier is on the RH side and a wooden locker with two hinged doors is accessed from the LH side.The locker and tyre carrier are built on a separate sub frame from the timber tray body. On the top of this locker is what looks like three places to carry batteries or at least they are the same dimensions as a 6 volt battery. Could this truck have something to do with wireless?
The tray is badly rotted away but not a real problem as there is enough to take patterns, all the iron work seems to be there.
The engine cover does not seem to fit at all and has a name plate with a different engine number and WO 87 stamped in it,did the C-15 have an engine cover with different dimensions to other type 13 cabs?
Thanks for any info
Robert
