60 " Searchlight Transport

[David Dunlop]

Does anyone know what vehicle was used by the Canadian Army during WWII to transport the 60" Sperry/GE searchlight and it's related generator set? I have never seen a photo of one in Canadian service, but some sources suggest it was a Diamond T with cargo winch and others say it might have been a Studebaker with cargo winch. I know they were not towed anywhere as there was no suspension on either the searchlight or generator units and the searchlight would have been smashed to pieces if towed. The wheels were needed just to load and unload the units and to position the searchlight battery.
