I've spent far too much time searching for the one good photo' of an LCN that I have but can't remember which book it is in. The picture you posted certainly has a larger " cabin" than was normal on later British LCVP but I seem to recall that LCN had a full lenghth cabin - one description I have found is: -
Quote:
LCVP with superstructure to provide covered wireless room / control position and engine room. Equipment included BO13 Radar on a strut-supported bipod mast aft - this could be lowered to stow on deckhouse
Assault from the Sea by J D Ladd

Afraid this doesn't help too much.

Also found this website which deals with postwar use of landing craft by the French in Indochina - http://indochine54.free.fr/ceteol/boats.htm
