Hi Tom...
Often with a bumper number, you can literally put the wording right
into Google and find out the unit that the vehicle came from.
For example, I just put in "49th PSB" (including the quote marks) into
Google and the first result was the home page if the California Army
National Guard, 49th Personnel Services Battalion. You are right,
that's the unit.
I don't know if they're deployed or not.
Here's the link to the Google search for others:

Good luck!
