Just saw this 60 for sale in the classifieds and it has a small vin plate. My euro 60 has the larger style plate. Does anyone have any info when the change actually took place?

Progressive Refinements shows a change taking place on 31 March 1960, at Chassis No. 2983906, where the maximum weights were increased. 2846166 still had the large (1959/60-only type) plate.
