It can't be powering anything forward because the bell housing and engine mount are in the way. I couldn't find any outlets on the housing making it a complete mystery to me.

Could this PTO be part of the Wireless Truck configuration?

I am asking as the truck has the tell-tale aperture for the speaker tube as found in the back of the cab on a Wireless truck.

Hanno, I could be wrong, but the speaker tube for the WIRE-5 was much more square than the one you have shown here and was not as close to the rear window. Also, the dash has the late military instrument configuration, which although correct for 1944 WIRE-5 production, should also probably have the round roof hatch, which is missing completely in any form.

Default C15A Roof

I concur with David's comment regarding the rectangular vs. square opening in the rear of the roof. It does not appear to be original. I also believe this truck should have come with an observation hatch (square or round). If you look closely at one of Hanno's other pictures of the roof it appears that the upper portion has been welded in which would explain the lack of a hatch or hatch opening. It also explains the correct reinforcement ribbing for the roof. My two cents.
