I have measured it myself at te fender of an LRDG Chevy 30cwt WA at 'Jebel Sherif' and I have seen the same "widenings" at a French wreck and also at the SDF wreck in the Egyptian desert (the one you have presented above).
Kuno, thanks a lot! Now it is clear, the fenders were modified.
10" - were for each side, or totally?

Wish to see these wreckages... Are they too far from any local cities?
