Yardy,
If you're on this website, you have all the information you need.

A link to the CJ3A Information page:
http://www.cj3a.info/cj3a/date3a.htm


A link from CJ3B on jeep numbers.
http://www.film.queensu.ca/cj3b/WOfigures.html

There are differences between the CJ2A and the CJ3A but it would require you to do a bit more research, using this site and visiting the links page to check other sites, to catalog those differences.

197864 could be a '48 CJ2A. 3A's started in '49, and have a prefix to the serial no, similar to what the 3B's have. Where did you find that number? On the left front frame horn or on a tag on the firewall, or elsewhere? BW
