#1: Ordnance Museum Data Plates #9: Italian Author: Neil_Baumgardner, Location: Arlington, VAPosted: Sun Sep 26, 2010 5:36 pm ---- M13 - two different data plates, I only have records for one?
#2: Re: Ordnance Museum Data Plates #9: Italian Author: Massimo_Foti, Location: Lugano, SwitzerlandPosted: Sun Sep 26, 2010 5:44 pm ---- Second shot, the SPA plate belongs to an L6 (the Semovente 47/32 I guess), other plate in the same picture belongs to a second M13.
Thid shot, yet another M13... But dating back to 1942 most likely an M14 or M15.
Last shot, the SPA plate belongs to an AB 40.

Which number should be considered the "serial number" or equivalent?

I think this
SABIF
come from a boxcar or some sort of railway stuff.
SABIF was a brake manufacturer and "freno continuo", aka continuous brakes, is a system that used hoses connecting all the wagons of a train, so the driver could apply or release the brakes with a single valve in the locomotive commonly used worldwide.
Regards
Giacomo
