strange code

[Mud&Rox]

found this on the bulk head of my 68IIA under about 4 layers of paint. anyone know what this could be from??

Some sort of official vehicle ID? What is the history of the vehicle? Maybe the RN stands for Royal Navy or something similar.

I am a newbie to these vehicles so this is a very wild guess.

Looks like a Royal Navy registration number.

Found this site but it doesn't have those specific numbers

That is so cool, very interesting to find that on your vehicle.

I think that would be cool. What color are you painting ? A new coat of that weird RAF Blue ?

[LaneRover]

Are you going to use the 'paint grenade' on the inside like the person who painted it that light blue? ;-P

[Mud&Rox]

the new color will be khaki/tan but the interior paint will be a brown/cast gray mix. with a random blue box and code lol. and I swear the white and light blue coats were brushed on

Hand a squaddie a brush and a can of paint.

Not sure what the British Navy version of a squaddie is. Maybe because they are the 'Senior Service' they capitalize the 'S'.

The Royal Navy equivalent is a Matelot.
