Default Indian Pattern truck in Iran

Hello Hanno,

The original source of the photo I sent you comes from the following URL

http://imagen.britishpathe.com/scrip...00000015&sif=0

It shows Indian Troops advancing into Iran in 1941. We were jointly occupying the country with Russia.

I think these troops are ether Gurkas or Garwalis from the region just south of Nepal.

Is it a 30cwt or a 3 tonner?

Is it a Chevrolet? I am unsure because it appears to have a hinged bonnet flap which comes down from the hood half way to the mudguards. Chevy bonnet flaps reach a curved line over the mud guard I beleive.

Regards

Nick Balmer

Regards
