From my data base....
For MBTs
Up to the 41xxx serial number range (9/43) the plates are QUARTERMASTER
In the 43xxx range (10/43) I see them as ORDNANCE.
So the change took place in between.
The first plate I have with the ORD "crossed cannons" added to it is in the 45xxx range.
For Bantams
As early as 7/43 in the 24xxx range, QM plates show up with ORDNANCE stamped over the QM
The change to a ORDNANCE plate occurred around 10/43 along with a new designed plate.
However....not all QM plates in between got the ORDNANCE stamping added to them.
