M38A1 data plate question

Post by samned » Mon Dec 05, 2016 1:19 pm

Today I was looking at a M38a1 parts jeep and came across this data plate. I have never seen one like this before. Is this a common data plate ? What does this data plate mean?

Not a standard plate, appears to be a property control item for a Jeep that was assigned a special use.

Is there a database where I can search this number and match it to the original vin number?
