Those numbers are not any given typeface. They are from a mechanical auto-incrementing numbering device used on letterpress equipment. The name "Crash Numbering" comes from the process called "crash printing" which involves imprinting a number (or other information) on a multipage form after all the pages of the form are assembled.
I took a look at it, and the Crash Numbering font mentioned by others is probably the closest thing you'll find. If it isn't an exact match then you would have to make your own.
I tested Crash Numbering font, it has some diferences. It has a round format and the numbers are a little "bold", the inner portion of the numbers are curveous and sinuous. Hey, George! could you or another people here, help me making this font for me ? Many thanks zal

Nice stuff on the Psyops site,no idea what it might be, some sort of bodoni sprung to mind... but it looks different.
Anyway, Ysmurga Carbeleu, heard of a thing called cropping?

Sorry, Zal. I'll pass on making the font --
I have too many commitments already.
