The box has some detail differences than this one on a wartime factory photo C-15A, but it's not all that different. This truck is a 1942 model so it doesn't tell how common (or if) wooden bodies were ever used on 1944 15cwts.

Other than what may be a bogus body (you be the judge) the rest looks pretty authentic.
