First picture is from the P&S Kars museum....

The second one I beleive was an original DND released picture and an early one at that..... look how short the cab upper part is..... compare to the Cantley one.... DND had added some aluminium enclosure behind and attached to the cab to provide for some ventilation to the water tight hull...

The final picture..... that may be the missing seventh truck... looks like personal use...... just after comingout of the water........ everyone sitting in the far back section wasno doubt an attempt to level the truck when floating.... which tended to be nose heavy..... looks real good without the top.

By the way getting in was a bit of a climb.... that is why they had a step ring on the front wheel with some kind of screen expanded steel welded to it.

Thanks Mike.

Guys,
if you check out Issue 44 of Pat Ware's Classic Military Vehicle magazine (dated Jan 05). There is an article on page 9 about this vehicle and it was For Sale then.
