One item in a military vehicle that helps identify it as such are the vehicles various data plates. One significant plate is the nomenaclature plate that shows the vehicles nomenaclature, census code, contract, date and identification, (usualy in the form of a chassis or vin number)

Whilst this list is far from complete or perfect, it will help give people an idea of what plates they do have, or may be missing. Sometimes like the plate example on the left , they have been painted over, and careful cleaning can reveal the plate below.

If you have a plate that is not on this list, or a better example of one, please send it in to REMLR

• Series 1
• Series 2
• Series 2a
• Series 3
• Series 3 Stage 1
• 101 Forward Control
• Land Rover 110 (Perentie)

There were vehicles fitted with, or without winches.

The photo below shows the Servicing data plate, and a part of the Modification (MOD) plate.

These can be found on many Series 2 or 2a vehicles. Sometimes as seen, sometimes painted over, or on the back of old (reused) plates)

These vehicles were quite rare, some such as in this case were converted into a ceremonial vehicle.

There are a number of different workshop vehicle variants as detailed elsewhere on REMLR, most either left the factory with a bare workshop tray for specialist conversion, or as a cab chassis to have a platform added later.

Station Wagons still in existance are a bit of a muddle, some were converted into other vehicles, some were converted from other vehicles, in one case, converted from a fire tender!

Australia only used one of the four major versions of the 101, the general service variant, but a number of plates are affixed to these vehicles, some from British Aerospace, some from Land Rover.
