Chevrolet WB Question

Dear specialists. Below photograph shows one of the LRDG / T.Patrols Chevrolets which was shot into fire by the Italians in early 1941 at Jebel Sherif.

Together with a colleague from Italy and another one from NZ I was doing research which hopefully leads to the publication of a book during this year.

We know that the Italians did not investigate the burnt trucks before they left the site. Neither did any of the LRDG return to the place. The first patrol coming to the same location was one of the Free French on 9th. February 1941.

There is nowhere an evidence, who may have removed the engines. But a fact is - they were removed.

If you could confirm that in this picture the engine is removed, then we could take this as a strong indication that such has been done by the Free French.

Most helpful would be a reference photo of another WB with an open bonnet.
