I'm looking at a Scammell Pioneer just now, I'm quite confident its a military one and has a "ministry of supply" chassis plate on it. It is however stamped with a civilian style plate KYW 922, DVLA have no record of it and I presume it fell victim to the computer upgrade in 1999.
Should it have a "two numbers - two letters - two numbers" (eg. 55 BM 49) style plate in the early 1940's? Is there any explanation for this number plate, I have seen a number of other military vehicles with KYW plates, perhaps in some other MOD role?

Hi everyone,
I'm looking at a Scammell Pioneer just now, I'm quite confident its a military one and has a "ministry of supply" chassis plate on it. It is however stamped with a civilian style plate KYW 922, DVLA have no record of it and I presume it fell victim to the computer upgrade in 1999.
Should it have a "two numbers - two letters - two numbers" (eg. 55 BM 49) style plate in the early 1940's? Is there any explanation for this number plate, I have seen a number of other military vehicles with KYW plates, perhaps in some other MOD role?
Any advice or help appreciated,
Kind Regards,
Duncan
