That is correct, more or less. There is a code type marking on older vehicles and I think is still done, although I am not sure. On my M416 trailer, aside from the reg numbers, there is a block diamond with 2121 in it. This was a Camp Legieune, NC asset, although I don't know what unit it was in. I saw a Gama Goat with much the same marking but 2112 in the diamond instead. This was done to all four sides. And I think the older vehicles had 3 digits and the newer ones used 4 digits inside the symbol. I assume that the various bases or bases within an area of operation, have their own symbols and the units are assigned a number to place inside their symbol. I have a gas can with a half cirlce steciled and the number inside, and my jeep has a full circle with 120 inside and an 8 just outside. I believe this was 1st Battalion 3rd Marines although decifering this is much like staring at a wall of heiroglyfics and trying to get something out of it, which I guess was the point. But Bill is absolutely correct about the bumpers, only the hood number on USMC vehicles.
Thanks

USMC doesn't put numbers other than vehicle registration, which is on the hood
and tailgate. All now black decals.
