M38a1 (nekaf) data plate numbers help

Post by Pockers » Mon Jun 23, 2014 12:53 pm

Hi from the uk
I have an m38a1 dutch (nekaf) version inclyding dutch data plates, my vehicle is marked up as us army and i want to change the data plates to reflect this. I have replacement ones but am unsure what numbers need to be stamped on them

The plate on the wheel arch is the original willys one and is stamped "md 57144 10152R"

The dutch one on the dash has :-
"Motor MD103748"
"Chasis MD10152"

I just want clarification of what to stamp into the bottom right plate i.e.
Ord ser no
Mfr ser number
Date del
Inspected

Any help or info gratefully received

I always thought the dash dataplate was the chassis No. and the engine No. and that was pretty much it. However I would have thought that some of that info was stamped on by the maintenance depot

I have PM'd you

Dear Pockers,

Your Nekaf is the former KP-51-38 (military license plate), so now you can search for pictures on the internet.
This info is based on old government auction catalogs that I possess, so 100% correct.

Regards,
