I indeed found the picture of the Chevrolet on the left, but does that mean the Chevrolet CMPs are in LRDG service? If so, why are they not listed?

I can't see it very clearly, but I'd guess it is the normal 3-ton body with a spare wheel to the left hand side.

Are axle failures a normal problem with Ford CMP's or is it only on early vehicles?
Not a common problem, except maybe for the LRDG grossly overloading them? Of course the bolted split axle design is weaker than the one piece cast design.
