Default WA/WB Chev 2pdr. Portees

I tossed up whether to put these photos in the Soft Skin or Gun Park sections.

Obviously they are 2pdr. portees but are on 1940 WA or WB 2 wheel drive Chevs.The only other Portees I have seen are all 4 wheel drive Cab 12 or Cab 13 trucks.

Titled as " 2-AIF-6th-AUSTRALIAN-DIVISION-ANTI-TANK-UNIT-TOBRUK-LIBYA-NORTH-AFRICA-WW2-PHOTO",

I spotted them on Ebay (291285857410) and thought that someone might have more information about the vehicles.

Regards Rick.
