What letter followed the the "C" for 30cwt's war Dept. number?

e.g.: Jeep - CM
15cwt - CZ
60cwt - CL
30cwt - C?

Thanks Steve, I suspected as much but wasn't sure. There are surprisingly few pictures of 30 cwts on the internet and none that I could find with their DND numbers present.

"A" for Ambulances, despite the capacity, so a C30/F30 Ambulance or 3-tonner equivalent would be say CA 42..... etc. although "CP" for Amphibians would noy have been used for 30-cwt. lorries so is irrelevant. Any Canadian DUKWs would of course be "CP".
