After 10 years, I found that my truck has two more tags which I never noticed. They were in the driver side rear door post, so "hiding in plain view". Any comment on this is more then welcome, especially if you can help identify the tags.

A barcode sticker. This I never saw before on a vehicle.
The bar code is 99751024
Then there is a number 2320000559263
Then comes my hood number 5D7896
Then vehicle identification: Truck Dump M51A2 W/Winch
The 8-number barcode search brought me, among many other possibilities, to the Military Standard Marking for Shipment and Storage. Is it possible that this is an identification used when transported from USA to Europe, or after storage in the POMS depot in the Netherlands?
Also a MWO applied tag, close to the above sticker.

The number is 02320200351, with the date 01.31.91. Maybe the first zero is not part of the number, unclear.
The interesting thing is that this tag as the date January 31, 1991. However, according CARNAC, this truck disappeared from the US Army books in 1986, five years earlier.
So apart from the fact that this truck was bought as surplus from a POMS depot in 1999/2000, there now is additional evidence that somebody was doing something with this truck between 1986 and 1999.
Any ideas?
