Interesting! When I rread that I thought of the M-H chassis with the Thornton rear bogie.

My Ford Handbook, 5th Edition states that in multidrive vehicles the front diff is identical to the rear, then later on it says that early production models had a different design. It is also stated
that the same transfer case was used on 4 x4 and 6 x 4 models except for the F15A, whose design was evidently substantially different..perhaps reflected in the 1941 versus 1941 Model number designation?
