I find it hard to believe to see a Motley mount in action in NW Europe, seeing that the later and more potent "Polsten trucks" were quickly relegated to other duties once the Allies gained air superiority.

But one never knows which equipment the Canadians held back unofficially and dragged across the Channel!

Hi Hanno, there is also a Picture of the command post of the Prinses Irene Brigade deployed in Normandy, with the same type of mount.
