Default SM 2002 again

They appear to my poor eyes as though they are # 12 and # 11 cab Chevrolets, C15s? They would be to SM 2002 again.

I had a sudden thought when the IA was mentioned, but despite original requests by the Ministry of Supply to send thousands of C15/F15 trucks to Bombay, this was changed a short time later in August 1940 to delivery to Egypt mainly. They were then of course, with other vehicles, issued to the AIF, NZEF and IA and then "sold" from mid-1941 to the Australian and NZ Governments, the War Office acquiring any for the Government of India.
