I supplied Hanno with these scans of the photos and yes they are official photos and captions.
The DUKW derrick was different in having 2 guy wires to the front of the vehicle rather then a single pole making it a two legged lifting frame rather then the 3 leg frame of the derrick truck.
The US Army used a similar two leg frame on the front of GMC-CCKW's where they added the outter dual wheel from the rearmost axle to the front axle to give more weight capacity.
