Default Census Number

I don't have that Census Number, 'P 554428x' in my GMC listing! These are what I have:

P 5477051 5477350 SM 2849 Amphibian 2½ ton 6 x 6 GS
P 5544759 5544958 SM 2849 Amphibian 2½ ton 6 x 6 GS
P 5575591 5576590 SM 2849 Amphibian 2½ ton 6 x 6 GS

The experimental one could be ex-US I suppose? Does anyone have a Chilwell list showing the Census Number series for the Duck in the photo?

Default Standard mid-production

It's neither very early or very late in the production sequence from the components I can see - no visible mods at all except for the gun, whereas the 105mm units had altered hull top edge cutouts to clear the wheel hubs - stuff like that.
