For a time, the commander of 1 Canadian Division in Kingston (recent modern times) had a GMC Suburban as his rover. The rest of the troops had 5/4 ton trucks. I saw it once, and was struck by the odd roof rack. It was high tubular framing. It occured to me that his driver could mask the passenger vehicle with a cargo truck tarp. Same profile and otherwise indistinguishable.

Maybe the half-track crew / commander had the same thing in mind?
