That is a strange id tag.
Sorry I can't help decipher its meaning, but I am sure Ken will let us know his thoughts.
In the meantime, how about some more details.
What bodystyle was it - ute pvan wagon sedan?
What colour was it?
Are you able to get any other details such as chassis # or engine #?
How bad was the wreck?
How about a pic of the tag itself.
I will be watching with interest.
Regards
Alex

BTW. Welcome to the forum.

hi alex
well like i said it was crushed and it didnt have a engine and i think it was a sedan and sort of a burnt and really rusty and it was white in places. i might be able to get a pic of the complience plate later next week. sorry about the lack of details it has been a while since i have been there. there was also a fe or fc sedan wreck there aswell but no complience plate.
thanks
Mark  ;)

Tag appears to be from an FX or FJ
colour is Crocus cream
ACC number means it was produced in March (3rd month)

Will talk to Barry Black to see if he knows anything about the frisr 2 lines

Spoke to Barry, he thinks it is a 1955 or 56 Vauxhall sedan

Hi Guys.
Thats right, Ken.  A mate of mine has one & it has exactly the same compliance plate as the standard Holden type, but with all different codes. I actually posted details of one here a LONG, LONG time ago. I will see if I can get his details to see if they are similar.
