It shows a Portee repurposed as a GS truck during the liberation of Leiden, May 1945.

I bought this picture a few years ago. It was supposedly taken in Leiden 1945 as well......and I think it shows the very same Ford Portee, Hanno!

It seems the Bedfords and Austins were often refitted with a newly made GS body, but this Ford just retains the Portee body, just with the blast shield and canopy removed!

By the way....when did they start adding lifting rings on the hubs in production???
