Serial No stamped on fourth driver axle suggests this locomotive to be originally JNR 9659. Builder is Kawasaki Heavy Industries, year 1915, builder no. 196. However, 9600s that were taken to the continent as part of the Japanese Army war effort was reassembled onsite with little regard for the original identity of the locomotives, so what remains is likely an amalgamation of various 9600 class components.
