I hope this is the right place for this(numbers stamped inside battery box)
« on: July 13, 2015, 08:37:02 PM »
Hi Guys,
Still making progress on the H/T, and will post some new photos soon.
My Diamond T M3 has the serial number  #M32921.
I found these numbers hand stamped inside the front armor plate of the battery box.
1393
H29<>
1450
510
Any idea what these would mean?
Thanks,
Mark

Mark,
  "H-29" is the designation for that particular component; PLATE, battery housing, front (10 15/16" x 11 1/16").

Not sure what the other numbers mean.

 I believe the other numbers indicate (batch, piece, and hardness) the diamond symbol denotes armor made for diamond t.

That is good info about the number. Do you happen to know what the symbols for Autocar and White are?
