The one image does have the negative reversed.
Both pictures look to be of the same truck. Those tripods must be for spotting scopes or the like. They aren't strong enough to mount a machine gun on. They're definitely not legs for the tilt like the guys on that forum suggested. They need to check this forum out so they can learn something. Nice pictures David

I know this thread is old but I recently came across some 8-cwt FFW cab-11 photos and I thought I'd add them here.

Joe,
Thanks for posting the link. Very interesting pictures....especially the one showing the chose horse generator, which seems to be mounted lower than on the factory pictures and also rotated 90 degrees! Alex

Nice pics. Would be nice to know where these pics were taken.
The antenna base with the rubber water shield cover and the D rods ? appears to be similar to the British setup. The wireless body looks like an early one with the early tailgate and the single tail light cut out

The photos were taken in the UK by someone serving in E Section, 2nd Canadian Divisional Signals. Unfortunately there are no specific dates on any of them except for one taken in Nov 1940. Show the 8-cwt FFW but not in great detail.

OK that explains the British antenna bases. I bet there are UK No. 11 sets inside those trucks. I was reading this on your web site: "The 8-cwt was a lightweight 4x2 vehicle that didn't see much operational service" The little Chev and Ford 8 cwt were widely used in North Africa and the Middle East. Photographs suggest that many 8 cwt vehicles served with British , Australian and NZ units. The enemy liked them as well.
