Newbie is it a WC 51 or an M 37 ?

Hello
I found what looks like a WC 51 but it is dated 1947
It looks more like a 51 than an M 37 but the date is throwing me off
I will get some photos as soon as I can
I know it is hard to tell without a photo but did anyone build a WC 51 in 1947 ?

First, is the title saying 1947? or is the data plate saying 1947?
If it is the title, I have seen WWII Dodges get titles with the year they were surplused out.
If it is on the data plate, I have a WC 54 here that the data plate has it as a 1954, on the data plate! This truck went though a complete rebuild by the US Army at that time, maybe that also replaced the data plates at that time as a new truck. There is a WC52 in New Jersey that also has 1950s dated data plates on it that where put on at rebuild.

I will have to check to make sure, the vehicle is in a warehouse and the owner of that warehouse is selling it, but I am sure it is the title that has the date.
I have been thinking of buying it but it will be a lot of work to restore.
He wants $1500.00 for it, seems pricey to me.
