Even in my country there are many CMPs working in rural areas.
It is a low cost truck and difficult to destroy.
Most lost their original engines in exchange for Diesel engines like the Perkins

Post-war, but still in service with the RAAF (note the front-Mounted exhaust on these C60X Refuellers):

In the 60's and 70's, a family company here in Buenos Aires, dedicated itself to buying vehicles at army auctions. They were surplus condition vehicles, but in good condition and with missing or small breaks. This family put them in running condition at the request of mining, forestry, agricultural and electrical supply companies.
Here are some photos of their work.
