1. The Chevrolet 2-Pounder Portees were based very largely on the Chevrolet Gun Tractor chassis; very largely! They were officially rated at 30-cwt, but we now know via MLU that the C-GT and its Ford brother were 3-tonners in military rating.

2. Those Portees still extant by the end of 1943, possibly early 1944 were either sold to the New Zealan Government and thereafter rebuilt it seems as G/S trucks, or rebuilt, either inthe UK or possibly even Alexandria, to:
a) 17-Pounder Gun Tractors, e.g. H 4594682, IWM PHOTO NA 19787 or
b) it now seems. G/S lorries which would have been I suggest still rated at 30-cwt. There were also C30 Light A/A tractors.

3. There were also C15 and F15 former VAN-6 trucks converted to 'TRUCK 15 CWT. 4 X 2 AA (20 M.M.)' . There is a photo of one in the wartime retrospective book AN ACCOUNT OF OUR STEWARDSHIP by Vauxhall Motors.
