Thanks Denes for confirmation.
Dragos, do you have a registration number for a TACAM R2?

Is there amy meaning to these numbers seen on Rumanian AFVs?

Generally speaking, I think it's unfortunate that there is/are no researcher(s) seriously focusing on Rumanian armour in W.W. 2 - similar to the several persons who already research Rumanian aviation with success, with the fruit of their respective research having been published.

"U" comes from Uscat (Land) and was applied to all the vehicles of the land army. I have noticed that all numbers of AFVs of the 1st Romanian Division during 41-44 start with 039. This does not apply to R-1 tanks (011527, 011502 etc)

As you can see in the photo I posted before, there are no visible markings on the front hull or on the sides of the turret. The base colour may be the olive green, the same used for R-2.

In the photo below (from summer 1944), on the turret side it is painted the tank number (411) and the "Mihai cross", both in white paint.

About the panzer gray colour of the T-4 at the museum, it is dubious. Even if some T-4s would have retained the original German paint, it would most likely be sand yellow, not panzer gray.

A scale model of T-4 in Romanian painting scheme:
