If this vehicle is in the UK, it is probably scarce, as most of the UK Portees were converted to tow vehicles for the 17pdr Anti-Tank gun, or to GS vehicles.

The body remaining on the ground in front of the truck appears to be (without the crane) the remains of the original portee bodywork (eg the small hand driven winch, the hinges on top of the guards), indicating this vehicle wasn't converted to GS spec.
