Subject: Re: Variations in duster fenders and numbering - Question


for sure? after all these years i don't even know what name i was using back then. you seem to have gotten yourself wrapped up in the army numbers game.

first question would be if you're sure you're looking at dusters in the nam? i've actually seen dusters as far away as greece. the point being regardless of where they came from, once they were in country under our control (arvn have any dusters?) they would have been marked uniformly. otherwise, the only explination i can come up with is the 12xxxx sounds pretty close to the "usa number" designation. as for the specific unit vehicle number, it could be a single digit designation. as in, the bn co's jeep was numbered h-5 (as i recall). the numerical prefix (i.e., 12) in your example throws me if it were actually a bumper/vehicle number. the 40228xxx leaves me at a complete loss also (unless it is actually the usa number).

making my brain work upon these numbers has made me question the answers i gave to marking questions earlier.

i can state that the mtoe would be no help. section 3 would be the listing of the equipment authorized by line item number (lin) and quantity. actual vehicle information would be found in the battalion property book and motor pool records.
