I think we forget 1 important thing, in 1944-45 the cab 11 and 12 were only 2 till 3 years old, so almost new, I don't think any army would throw them away for newer cars and remember, only the cabs are different, the mechanical parts are the same.

First picture was posted by Stefan Leegwater in the F60H thread. A very rare F60H seen in Ommen 1945.
Second and third pictures are screen grabs from a youtube vid on the liberation of Haarlem 1945 (some great footage and vehicles by the way!). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOtPL6baJLY Alex

This blend of old and new was probably not unique to the CMP. Wasn't there quite a mix of old and new model carriers in use, at least two models of DUKW and I don't think the Bantam and slat grilled jeeps disappeared as soon as the later model MB and GPW arrived.
The latest vehicles were probably not as critical an issue as one would encounter with aircraft. David |

I was reading one of Mike Starmers publications on camouflage paints and he mentions a document stating that (SCC2 Brown) vehicles are only to be fully repainted in the "new" SCC15 Olive Drab if absolutely necessary, due to limited supply of SCC15. Vehicles are to be patched where possible. This could well be the same with replacement trucks (?)
