Quite a few like that on 16" rims.
Over the years I have kept a visual record of the various ID tags either seen or posted by others.
Low and behold I have that ID tag in my photolibrary BUT no caption of who or where.....still scratching my head.
Grant is correct in saying that we have seen a number of them from the Aussie contract..... we speculated that the contract ended when the conflict ended and these Aussie trucks were disposed on Canada.
Some have round roof hatches some don't.
They are all built on the smaller power train of the C15a with the same gear ratio...straight off the inventory shelf.
Steering box is also C15a.
Typically 2 speed T case and brake boosters.
We have also found sufficient examples of them built with either the 1940 Civilian rectangular instrument cluster or the later round dial. From the dates I have seen they range from April 44 to at least late September 44 possibly October 44 some just a day apart.
These are the occasions where I miss having David Hayward in the background to help us out.
It is a fine example of a job well done!!
