May I suggest what you are reading as an F suffix is actually a badly stamped B?

If it was, this is the information on the chassis number....

1 ton 6cwt 1qtr is how I read it.

That makes sense, thanks

Thats what I initially thought but according to lrfaq chassis numbers starting with 271 only went up to 27105997B in 1965

I'm still not sure on that chassis number being correct at all, by suffix F the 241 petrol chassis numbers were in the area of 35000F, but the 271 88 Diesels were only around the 12000 count by the time suffix G came along. Your 24610 F seems out of sequence, how many 271 chassis numbers were there by the end of 2a production?

I think your front axle number may be in the right region for 1965 going by the 1969 and 1970 vehicles I have owned and found their front axle numbers.

Still none the wiser.

The F suffix is an error right from the start then, as the twin wiper motors etc are too early to be a suffix F, as is,the Suffix B number plate. The same number was probably just copied when it was exported. At least you have a reg which might help DVLA?

The weights sound like the vehicle gross weight.
