Bart Vanderveen's post-war vehicles book mentions the French postwar army having 4x4 Ford/M-H trucks named 09W, which means they are of 1940 vintage (!) and must be related to the US Marine Corps' 09T as featured here: http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/sh...&threadid=3339
The trucks might have been delivered in 1940 to the French or either the Free or Vichy French troops somewhere in Africa or the Middle East.
The 09W is a 1940 cab-over 134"wb truck and would have looked quite impressive with a Marmon-Herrington conversion!
