Default 1940 SA Fords

'A number of Reconnaissance Cars S.A. Mk I (left) and Ford OIT/81, 3 ton 4 x 2 GS trucks (right) lined up prior to leaving the camp of a South African Army unit for exercises and manoeuvres in the field'.

I am no expert, but assume that the armoured vehicles are Marmon-Herringtons? The Fords are clearly X01T 30 hp V-8 trucks, where 'X' indicates the assembly country...what WAS the Ford, South Africa code please? 'S'? Then I suddenly realised that I did not the Ford Australia code..'A'? '
