Sorry I was unclear do you have a pic of .....A Tripolitania District formation flash, a Barbary dhow. Would it be the same as your profile pic? but with a red border?

yes I am still looking in to the history thank you very much for the id of the markings do you have a pic of what it should look like ?

hello I have identified the other markings I am having trouble with this one. It is on the lower door on both sides of the land rover. So far I have been given guesses as to what it is 1 storage mark, chalk mark for transport by air or sea and war games marking. please help clearly identify this.

A comment was made to size and place of the markings I hope this works and hopefully correct me where I am wrong

Nearly missed these I believe this is the crossed kukris in white on green rectangle

Guards Armoured Division 'ever open eye' it was I believe use as my previous post and the Irish Guards in 1999 would use it on the tank of the best gunner

Hello I think this marking is the Guards Armoured Division 'ever open eye' and the truck got this by: Look at this also please,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10th_Armoured_Division_(United_Kingdom), It shows 10th armoured was in Libya at this time 1950s I am starting to think along the lines of The Armoured Brigade Signals Squadron was expanded to 10th Armd Div Signals in May-June 1956, based in Tripoli. It began to wind up in April 1957, and disbanded completely in September 1957.[9]

Hello soundhound, Thank you,for the info and great pic.

Hello,ferret1958uk, I best get on with the sanding and photos. The wheel well sounds like a good idea I am going to look through my collection of MOD landy photos and see if any had the spare wheel fitted like this. may be it was ripped out to fit what ever went in to the bolt holes in the chassis. "Post War Military Markings in Clive's Corner. You will find the 1952 marking most helpful". yes it is. this is my first Military resto and i am learning, i don't want to make mistakes with what goes where and why, by asuming anything and looking silly later. Still getting my head round it all. thank you for your reply

the red square is in the middle of the door on both doors. thank you for the titles of the referance books i shall look in to the these and thank you for your input it is most welcome

there is a blue rectangle on the driver wing and on the tail gate would this be a convoy mark or engineers sorry no pick atm

thank you for your reply

any ideas as to what was here. from the holes in the chassis it was big and i have a 1954 86ich landy with a harvey forst crane and the fittings are different.

is this the cloth mud flap fitted by reme i read about ?

i think this is the remains of a marking on the wing shame

Hello all, trying to find out as much as possible about my landy before restoration so while waiting for camberley to get back to me and looking at any army reg with BP in the nearest one i have found is a pic of 40 BP 38 this reg appears in Windscreen summer 2010 issue 127 on page 20 my landys army reg is only a couple off this 41 BP 35 from what i have seen reg numbers i think were put on vehicles then sent out from the depots and this may mean nothing? did the reg's follow a group pattern? From what I have read in the Windscreen article by John Mastrangelo and the Quarter ton Pat Ware. this Land Rover was part of order 6/VEH/16223 1955 WD 57100282-4375 FV18001 Soft top 36 BP 85-48 BP 58 I am still scraping layers of paint off to see what I can find unfortunately some wally put head lights in the wings and cut up the markings there is only a little left and not enough to ID I think. however i found a stencil under the desert sand/light stone paint and was wondering what the 6039-10-193? means/refers to? Any help and advice or tips on getting the history of the Land Rover. Thank you.

Hello all, I have had, like most, a long time interest in old vehicals. My mine interest is old land rovers. i havd 2 ex mod ones a series one 1955 6/veh/16223 WD 57100282-4375 light stone 86inch which is a project. and a series 2 which i have no plates for just an old pic and a non mod 1955 107 series one. I do like other old vehicals and would like the chance to work on tracked vehicals, hope to one day own a APC.
