Default 2 1/2 T Line Truck

I was at the Communications and Electronics Museum in Kingston today. And, lo and behold, they have new display up - parked next to a 1954 deuce-and-half line truck. It was a beautifully restored 15CWT radio van with a complete WS No. 19 Mk III. It also had a Johnson Chorehorse in its allocated spot (in a compartment behind the right-rear wheel). Unfortunately, there's no photo of the vehicle on their website and I don't have a digital camera. Next time I'm there, I'll get some photos of it, scan them and post them here.
Is that vehicle an auger truck, which would have been used at higher formations for augering holes into which telephone poles would be inserted?
