8.4 Data Plates
Several different styles of nomenclature plates were used during GPW production. Early GPW data plates were made of brass, late ‘42 through early ‘44 data plates were made of plated steel and ‘44-’45 GPWs used plates made of aluminum. The data plates are attached to the glove box door by means of brass plated steel rivets.
Data plates were changed to show Ordinance Dept. as the servicing organization on 12/3/1942. Vehicles built before this date had the Quartermaster Corps (QMC) as the servicing organization.*
* There were about six different variations of serial number plate used during production. These should be documented and included here in future revisions.
