ferret1958uk Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Can anyone shed some light on an FSO I uncovered on the passenger door of my 1964 Land Rover? It has roughly stencilled in orange paint: S/67 FSO 48607 4-S ANTWERP. I know that the first line should be (According to the 1969 Aide memoire for RCT I found online) a theatre of operation prefix followed by the consignment code. According to the 1969 document the theatre of operation prefix should be two letters, not 1? The second line is the FSO number given to the shipment followed by (I think) the item number for the FSO as there were at least 4 items in the shipment. I know that the third line shows the Port of Discharge. I want to know if this is correct, and if so which theatre is represented by S? If not then what does the S, or S's, stand for? Where are records for the FSO's kept and are they likely to ever be recorded in places such as the B vehicle records (Perhaps as a reciept number). There are a few differences to what is stated in the Aide Memoire as well. Apparently the whole lot should be bounded by a rectangular cage and stencilled in red. This FSO is stencilled to the passenger door, but the memoire states it must be visible from the front of the vehicle, and I doubt it was shipped with the doors open! I guess it was placed on the door because it was right next to the vehicle weights board (black chalkboard thing on rear wing). Any help appreciated.
