Default NZ Maoris in British truck, Mid-East


I found this shot on the NZ Library website. Is it a 30-cwt or 3-tonner? The Census Number is a Mid-East allocated British one, and if I could id the truck I might guess the Contract...could be a # 11 Cab from the S/M 2003 order for example if C30/F30 or S/M 2019 if C60L/F60L # 12 Cab [the body is surely the all-steel one...and the chassis lwb?]. Anyhow, this tends to prove my point that the AIF, and NZEF, plus I think the Indian Army, were issued with British trucks on loan...and that loans became permanent.
