Kinda looks like a WC54...

It is a Chevrolet K-51 wireless panel van. Based on the Chevrolet 4X4 1.5 ton chassis with dual wheels at the rear.

Here's a rare shot of a Canadian contingent with their K 51s loaded onto a ship bound for England, I assume.

Those are similar sized trucks, but lighter.

No dual rear wheels, no extended fenders, no side boxes for radio gear, ordinary half to one ton chevrolet or even Dodge I think. They don't look like they are packed for international shipment either - looks more like a river or channel crossing rather than trans-Atlantic.

1/5th Bn. The Queens Royal Regiment liberating Ghent (Belgium).

Looks like a Chevrolet Cab 12 3-tonner.
