Actually the sign at the front should read "C6" ("C" for combined)
and "4" on the left side of the truck (if you comply to NATO-
standard).
BTW the "4" does not express 4 ton, but is a MLC-number (Military
Load Class) calculated from weight of the vehicle, number of axles
etc.
I don=B4t have the exact formula present.
Have a nice day :-)
