Body number should be on a small oblong plate at top right hand side of bulkhead as you are looking to rear of car. it's held on with 2 small screws.

2 holes = just the Cowley plate - so DEF built at Cowley!
No idea when they began mixing Cowley with CKD and prog numbers.
Well, prior to 2/51, that I DO know.
The missing plate is the NMP plate, so would suggest "mixing" was done during '49.
If I had more body numbers I'd be able to help!

MM NMP plates usually to the right of the stamped chassis number, directly underneath soleid on later cars.

the plate cam in a folder, the engine bay is mostly striped of paint as it's an abandoned resto project, so no primer is left but when I looked where the plate should go, where later cars take the body no plate there are 2 holes which fit the bmf plate I was given and the body number plate has no obvious place it was fitted to, so maybe I was given this plate by mistake, there seem to be missing a plate on the bulkhead crossmember tho behined the engine,
do you know anything about BMF plates?
Thanks for all your help
