Early CMPs
Seeing early CMPs being used with other vehicles makes me wonder how vehicles were allocated in the British and Commonwealth Armies. Did units just get allocated he first 15 cwt or 3 tonner that was available from the vehicle park or was there any planning around putting common types together to make spares easier allocate? Photos seem to show a mix of types, so any typical unit might have a Ford WOT and a CMP 15 cwt and as for the RASC it seems many photos show a mix of CMPs and UK built types like the Bedford OY, which in todays world seems odd.
