Hi Ron

Yes its a AD HOC setup , the scene is Greece . This was common scenario .

Years ago I bought a 109 set from a AIF sigs veteran . He showed me his old photo album , pics in Syria , and he mentioned that the wireless vehicles his unit used arrived as GS trucks , each vehicle crew scrounged bits of wood and made wireless tables in the field , a case of improving . The vehicles he had taken pics of I identified as 1 Ton Fords ,1940 models . This chap was a mate of the guy who wrote "Saga of a Sig" , I think it was Ken Clift but I could be wrong .
