Census Numbers

Canadian Army vehicles used the same census numbering system as the British with the addition of a C before the main type prefix letter.

All letters and numbers were 3.1/2" high and 2.1/2" wide (except figure '1').

Thickness of characters was 5/8".

Spacing between characters was 1/2".

Sizes were reduced on motorcycles to fit on the side of the petrol tank.

Lettering was usually white except for airborne forces who prefered to use light blue.
