Re: SER1 Engine and other numbers

The answer is that front axles, engine and gearbox  numbers have a
different series for LHD and RHD, CKD etc. 

Rear axles are in a common series!

    Hi Diana,
    It does sound like the rear axle has been swapped. tHe numbers for 
all of the major components are usually close to each other (within 100 
or so). If you supply me with your vehicle number, it is possible that I 
will have the numbers for the other major components at home, depends on 
how late in 1950 your vehicle number is.
