In that case it could have been fitted with one of the hatches as shown on the Dodge T-110-L-4 3-ton 4x2 Stores truck shown below. I found the picture in Bellona's
Military Vehicle Data Number Four, and it is credited to the R.E.M.E. Museum. It seems to have been pictured in either the North African or Italian theatre.
Like I said, I have seen pictures of American half-ton Dodges in British service in North Africa which had these hatches retrofitted. The booklet mentioned also shows the same type of hatch on a Karrier K6 3-ton 4x4 GS truck in a desert paint scheme. I'm not sure this is what your truck had. It looks like a North African campaign modification, and with your truck being built in October 1943 it could not have been used in the North African campaign, could it?
