Hi David,

Next to the CA is a Dodge, now going by its bonnet, bumper and wheels, it would appear to be a 1/2 ton 4x4 model, perhaps a T207-WC3 weapons carrier or one of the similar models. It was only made until 1942, when superceded by the 3/4 ton models. The white vehicle could be based on a Hino, going by the badge on the front, then the Chev, a standard early 1940's truck I would guess. Problem with the Far East countries, is that they often use cabs and bonnets on other chassis, they could be a real mix n' match.

regards, Richard
