Ive had a look at the 3 plates sitting under the instrument cluster and being a noob at these old things im hoping someone can shed a bit of light as to what they mean, first plate is a small blue and silver one saying it was produced by Pressed Metal Corp LTD
Body No-LRL909
Ser No-109/909
Below that is the rover Co Pty Ltd plate with
Car No-123700429
What do all these numbers mean??
Also where do i find the chassis number and engine number?
Thanks in advance all

PMC assembled your landie. That's their batch plate.
The other one is the LR chassis # (for a 1957 vehicle).
That should match the number stamped on the L/h rear spring hanger.
1 Type: Land Rover
23 Model: Land Rover, Series I
Body type: Basic
Wheel base: 109in (Long Wheel Base, LWB)
Engine: Petrol
Destination: Right-hand drive (RHD), completely knocked down (CKD)
7 Model year: 1957
00429 Serial number
So some of the PMC plate will now make sense to you?!

Engine # will be on the l/h side up front near the water pump/thermostat.

Chassis number on the left hand rear spring hanger. Stamped on the outside near the shackle.
