Chassis number location

[nz2]

Manufacturers regularly stamped their chassis' with production numbers, however the location of these stampings varied greatly. The objective of this tread is to produce a guide as to the position of these numbers.

So often a chassis only is located and while identifying it to manufacturer or model can be made by design features, further identifying it, or dating it by using a chassis number becomes another challenge. Hopefully this thread can assist.

Chassis numbers should be stamped on left hand front dumb iron. However many chassis' do not show any sign of this stamping, as per the second photo.
