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


Paul,

Perhaps I can be of some assistance here.

The 40228xxx refers to the registration number as assigned to the vehicle by the Army. 40 is the designator for tracked anti-aircraft vehicle. I'll have to look it up in the manual, but that is what I remember.

The 12 A 123 would be the unit number or divisional markings. Even though they were National Guard, they would have been pretty standard. I will have to look it up when I find my stuff to let you know for sure.

As for the angled vs flat fenders, the straight fenders were the original design. During production, a change was made to the fenders. See Fred Crimson's book on tracked vehicles.

Hope this helps.
