Interesting CMP Ambulances....

AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE C30 AMBULANCE - INDIA-BURMA 1944-45.
The American Field Service served in India and Burma in 1944-45 alongside British and Indian troops of 14th Army. Can anyone tell me the type and version/model of the CMP ambulances they were using? They are 30 cwt - possibly C30. The Ambulances are not the standard hard bodied C60 version used in Italy and North-West Europe, but seem to be canvas sided. Are these an "Indian-pattern" vehicle?

I believe these are "Ambulance Indian Army Type (Aust) No. 1". Could they have been built in India as well?
