S/N 217 would be a riveted hull with a welded octagonal turret. That has a D58133 turret on what appears to be a welded gasser hull. That would make it S/N 5523 - 7722 or 7933 - 10432. I've normally seen M3 serial stampings that were much larger characters, such that they were in two rows, like
12
34
Was this on the front lug? The reliable numbers are on the rear because I think the transmission covers could be removed and replaced.

Okay, this came off the front right tow lug. Couldn't find anything on the differential housing (too much paint) and the left front tow lug was broken off.
