This has been researched for you a few times over the past several years.
USA Issue M-38A1 will have a 5 digit Serial, if this is actually the first 3 numbers of the serial, it is a 1953. Pics of Floor Drain location, Grill mounting, Bumper, and Battery Box Cover will disclose the year or serial number range.

Thanks Ben
I had this info in my notes and could not find them. I knew the physical features but could not remember the serial no. Anyway sorry for any
inconvenience it might have caused you.

Thanks

Fred
