Yup... that's the "Date Del." entry on the info plate (I'm guessing "date of delivery.")
I thought some folks might appreciate a movie clip I stumbled across when hunting for M715 info online last night:

I haven't heard back from the place running the VIN for me yet, but I did get a reply from my inquiry to the Army. No useable info, unfortunately:

Dear Mr. Wilkinson,
Thank you for your 22 October inquiry regarding a 1 1/4 ton truck's history.
Unfortunately, the Army does not have records on the histories of individual
trucks. We contacted the historian for the U.S. Army Transportation Center
and he does not know of any records that would assist you in search. Sorry
we could not be of more assistance.
Sincerely,
Gary

Oh well. We're still attempting to figure out who donated the vehicle; maybe that will shed a little more light on the subject and suggest further avenues of inquiry.
