Late pattern F60L.
I wonder whether the truck ever wore that German scheme?

I'd say an F60S Derrick Truck or "Engineer's Lorry with Body Type Winch"

Not likely, when could the Germans have captured a '44/'45 Ford CMP truck?

VEHICLES SHOWED in RUSSIAN MUSEUM
 
Hello

I agree with HANNO about the FORD CANADA truck. It is an F60S with a derrick body builded in 1944 (last kind of cab number 13). About the origin of some vehicles , I think that they were bought on the international market (like thise F60S). So the JEEP WILLYS has directionnal light the same use on french army Jeep. Most vehicles seem to be in a good state with some erroneous designation (DODGE COMMAND CAR is a WC56 and not WC 57). Nevertheless a very nice museum but too far from France

Regards

Serge,

That is correct. I was told the Stoewer came from Germany.

The museum is too far away from Holland too, but thankfully we have digital photography and the internet so we can enjoy these trucks from a distance.

Regards,
Hanno
