The service number on the helmet is 8 digits , the range you show is only 7 digits.

That list is the old system which was superceded in 1942 with a new version:

"In 1942 the 'General Service Corps' were formed for the initial training of all new recruits. From then on the new recruits were allocated a number in a series beginning 14,000,000."

General Service Corps 14200001 - 15000000

Also , as Simon has posted the number is preceded by T/ .

"As the Royal Army Service Corps is divided into four main branches , the following prefixes to Army numbers will be used to denote the branches in which the soldier of that Corps may be serving:

S= Supplies

T= Transport

M= Mechanical Transport

R= Remounts"
