Hello Chris.Okell,

They look like an in-house promotional issue, possibly given to an employer on leaving the job or for serving so many years good service to the company.

Dawsons is a road haulage company, so it seems logical to apply those paper based labels to a truck and trailer and the date of issue is likely to be tied in with when that model was currently on sale in the shops.

Celcon blocks are like breeze blocks. soft airated building blocks.

A code 3, altered by the model's owner.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

Agree with you Kev these have been in my hand and previously belonged to me. They are some sort of Promo model.
