Nice pic, good to see the inside of the door has a liner. This wasn't the case on all Cab 11's and 12's.

Bob, my Cab11/12 has internal door liners. Funny how some do, some don't.

Seems the Chevrolet cab 12s we see here usually have them but the Australian order Fords don't, so perhaps the deletion is something to do with our deliveries as your F15 was likely brought here after service somewhere else.

CBI theatre image: I think it has to be Rangoon (there are tramlines visible) after the Japanese were ousted.

Default CMP 4x2

I saw this in the IWM.

It looks to be a CMP of 8 cwt no doubt 4x2 so unwanted by the Army late in the war?

The markings suggest the truck above is being used for meal delivery after having been presented/paid for/sponsored by "the people of Malta" to "the people of Britain". Disaster relief... from one set of bombed people to another.
