ex-portee GS trucks?

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

Dave I have an IWM photo:

L 5216042 to 5216554 Contract SM 2613 LORRY 3 TON 4 X 4 A/TK PORTEE # 43 CAB: 1942 MODELS BUT THEN REBUILT TO GS BODIES AS OBSOLETE E.G. L 5216493 IWM PHOTO KID 4052

These would have been converted in the UK, possibly by General Motors Limited in Bamber Bridge, near Preston I should imagine....I reckon conversion was in 1943 just as MCC Limited were contracted to convert MCC 2-pdr Portees and Predictors to A/tank tractors.
