hi Mike,
The prefixes were British and also used by the Canadians but prefixed with a C, so a motorcycle would be CC and a 15cwt CMP truck CZ and so on.
Van designation was discontinued during the war I believe, but as well as conventional Vans, there were some Bedford MW and Fordson WOT2 trucks which were built and designated "Vans" (Bedford MWV for one). These had a canvas covered body, but I think it was a permanent covering not roped like a GS truck
