Going back to the Albion 6x4 posted 16Nov.
Surely lend lease vehicles were not issued to Russia with British army Census numbers ?
Seems more likely a German captured BEF vehicle , however surprised that they left these markings on this late , unless it's in France still and recently captured?

Hi Chalky,
Have nice German picture of a Russian Matilda captured in Lituania. The WD census number is there and the stencils in Russian are also well visible.



This is one example only, the pictorial evidences most of the British hardware was delivered to the USSR with the original WD numbers are many.

Seems more likely a German captured BEF vehicle

A simple question: in case it was really so, from where came this Russian number on the cab sides then?
Cheers!

You live and learn
I think I will stick to France and stay out of Russian affairs!
