There are small amounts of information available from various sources but no single place to look up everything. It is almost impossible to find out any wartime use of vehicles as the individual records have not been retained.

 

There is a list published by RAOC Chilwell detailing the allocation of WD census (serial) numbers to contracts. However, this implies that you know the wartime serial. Once the contract is known, there are contract cards at The Tank Museum which may provide more information about the contract, particularly earlier ones.

 

The RLC Museum holds post-war 'Key Cards' which may provide details of any post-war use and disposal etc.

 

There is almost no information available on RAF contracts and serial numbers.

 

If you want people here to help narrow things down, I'd suggest posting photos of the vehicles, any current markings (and any that have been found rubbing down paintwork) as well as photos of any data, contract or rebuild plates plus engine and chassis numbers.

 

The six-digit number that you quote, 572041 does not relate to any wartime Guy contract.

 

There are simply too many variables to begin guessing on the basis of incomplete information but if you post full details, you may be surprised just what can be ascertained.
