IIRC, all chassis were made by a firm called Sankey. Highly likely they=E2=80=
=99d have a build number for their own purposes but I never remember seeing t=
hat type of number or descriptor on the vehicle build sheet aka =E2=80=9Cthe=
 tally=E2=80=9D.

Remember, it=E2=80=99s rarely a good idea to squat, unless you=E2=80=99ve al=
