Yes, it's Ford's forerunner of Chevrolet's C8 Heavy Utility. Could you get a larger scan of that photo?
Details from Vanderveen's
Fighting Vehicles Directory World War II (p.199):
Car, Heavy Utility, 4x2 (Ford C011DF-F8)
V-8-cyl., 95 bhp, 4F1R, wb 101 in, 162x78x78 in, 4032 lb. 9.00-13 tyres. Crew six incl. driver. British built body on 8-cwt CMP chassis. Used mainly by RAF. Rear seats folding to provide cargo space.
Speaking of early CMP vans, what about this "CMP woodie"?!?
