I think i would go along with Fyll on this one as the armoured ammo carrier, its rare to see a photo with tilt frames. The Deacon had the same half cab design but this photo looks as if it has been taken later in the war say Italy or even Europe although photographic evidence of them in action must be almost non exsistant. The demolition vehicle that Richard suggests is in fact based on the armoured command vehicle i have a couple of photos but cant lay my hands on them at the moment. a couple of photos of the ammo carrier and a drawing arre posted here. Going back to the Deacon if iam correct most of these were sold or given to Turkey after the middle east campaign finished i wonder where they ended up, after all the Matador was no rust bucket and these had no wooden frame cabs to rot, food for thought maybe
cheers
