There should be a military reg number on the build plate, often found on the side of the seat box. You can go online and for a small fee get the record document for the vehicle, which should at least show you which units it was used by.

found tag in a box in the back Very Happy


One of mine is close to that 57FG47

I think, and I'm happy to be corrected if someone is more knowledgable on the matter, but the letters relate to the year the contract was awarded by the MOD, and the letters are just allocated in sequence to the vehicles as they arrive.

FG relates to 1967/1968 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone
2002 - Black Discovery II - Gone
2014 - Montalcino Red 110 XS SW
