Ron; Your Duster's numbering were identical to 1/44's in 1967. The first number (reading right-to-left) was either 1 or 2 (platoon) ; second number was either 1,2,3 or 4 (section) and third number was either 1 or 2 (squad or track). Headquarters of course had trucks but no Dusters at all. I've heard that in some temporary replacement cases Dusters with other numbers were used while awaiting repairs on their regular Duster...such as "C-140"...guessing it could have been called a loner Duster? Initially I believe each Battalion started out with two spare Dusters that didn't have assigned crews , and we left for Vietnam with 66 each.
