Mercury Industrial Truck

Hello folks. Just recently got my hands on an old airplane tug. Curious to know if anyone on here can tell me what part of the serial number may tell me what year it is or any info on it would be greatly appreciated. Cant find much on the internet, the most info I've gotten was off my older neighbor who said it was probably used in WW2 and how it was used as it does have a US army property tag on it.

I can tell you its got a 230 CI flat head 6 in it obviously Chrysler corp. Great engine used in more applications than I ever dreamed possible. It was a US Military vehicle can you find a TM on the vehicle, then go from there?
