Hi Jeremy, good to see the progress on your C15 recorded here!

When stripping off the various coats of paint the underlying paint colour on chassis and cab was desert sand coloured.

By the time your C15 was built in November 1942, the war in North Africa and the Middle East was still going on so many orders for vehicles were finished in Light Stone. However, not all vehicles thus finished at the factory (incl. my
Ford F15A), ended up in those theatres of war, and were thus repainted either SCC2 (brown) or olive drab upon arrival in NW Europe.

I have learned since that the rear body is the later wood / steel composite type and should be the all steel type.

When looking at the list of 15-cwt body types on
Colin Stevens' CMP site, you can see the last type was really the 2J1 body, which was preceded by the 2H1 on your truck and the 2C1. I would not worry about this body type on your truck.

P.S.: for anyone who is interested, see
