CMP identification - combined operations film (1943)
 
Can anyone ID the CMP (11 or 12 patt. cab), which drives to the beach out of the LCT on 14:08?
She tows the 6pounder and it seems it is roofless, more precisely it has the canvas roof substitution. The film was shot in England, prior to the op. Husky.

Anybody knows more?

It's a gun portee. A few frames later there's a good rear view where you can see the loading/unloading ramps stowed vertically.

There are several threads on these vehicles, such as this one: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=6683 and an extensive article in Wheels & Tracks #33.
