The truck is lyig on its side.
There were no Canadian units in North Africa - and this photo was taken on the road between Tobruk and Tripoli in Libya.

Would you recognize the "logo" with the camel?

Default RASC General Transport Coy

I consulted my friend Bert Lindeboom and he told me “2264” stands for a RASC General Transport Coy. He cannot ID the number, but 2262 was 36 General Transport Coy and 2263 was 562 General Transport Coy.
