Nuyt:

Your two mystery pics are Studebakers, I don't have my Stude book handy but I think 1947/48. When I find the book I can better state what I think they are.
Nice and very unusual pics.
Bill


Nuyt: Found at least one book. Not the best reference book, "The Studebaker Century" but has some stuff.
Based on what I read, your vehicles are most likely 1946/1948 M-16 which seems to be a 1.5/2 ton rated 4X2. There is one pic of such trucks being prepared for CKD export.

Of minor interest in the same book is a short 1/2 page discussion with pics, of " The Desert Explorers" which were 1950 Commander sedans and 1/2 ton pickups built for ARAMCO for use in Saudi Arabia for oil exploration. Pretty much the same concept used 10 years earlier in the Middle East by Empire Forces. 9:00X13 tyres, big radiators, stronger clutches etc. The sedans even had the same flanged mudguards we see on Fords and Chevs of the 1940 era.
Bill again.
