CENSUS CODES, NOMENCLATURES & B.B.B. REFERENCE NOTES
Census codes and their associated Nomenaclatures are designated to vehicles by the Defence force. It is worth noting that the codes are generally not specific to a make or model, so could apply equally to a Holden as to a Land Rover or International Truck. These codes have been lifted from an army ledger listing all Census codes and their associated Nomenaclatures. This list includes all known codes used on Internationals as well as some which may have applied to Inters, others are listed only for interests sake. If you know of one that is missing, or should be included, let us know and we will include it in the listing here. Items in italics are unreadable, indistinguishabl or uncertain |

| REMLR Acronyms re B.B.B. entries | |
| SAL | B.B.B. footnote: full entry; 'To be reduced to produce in aid of BHQ repair' (i.e. item written off but salvaged for parts) |
| VUSD | B.B.B. footnote: full entry; 'w/o (US) Produce Disposal Office DADO Vietnam. Memo R2300-x-x' (i.e. item written off in theatre... and scrapped?) |
| V2AOD | B.B.B. footnote: full entry; 'w/o 2AOD Vietnam. Memo 2300-x-x' refs '2 Advanced Ordnance Depot' (i.e. item written off in theatre... and scrapped... at Nui Dat?) Some refs '2 Composite Ordnance Depot Vung Tau' (1ALSG?). |
| VTF | B.B.B. footnote: full entry; 'Less doors, bows, canopy, tailgate'
(i.e. indicates GS variant items removed for the trip to Vietnam on the
"Vung Tau Ferry" and stored to refit on R.T.A.) ---- (In the B.B.B. there is -frustratingly- no similar type of notation to point to Vietnam service for other variants such as Ambulances, Panel Vans, Workshops...) |
| not noted | B.B.B. footnote: the vast majority of vehicle entries are marked 'cancelled', indicating disposal out of the fleet. Some vehicles were still 'in-service' when the B.B.B. books ceased to be used and therefore have no 'cancelled' or disposal note in the books. |
| unk | B.B.B. footnote: in the majority of entries, if a vehicle has an engine number changed, the original number is ruled out but still legible. In some cases the entry was changed using 'correction fluid' or 'whiteout' and the original number is totally obscured. |
