That seems to be an unusual arangement on that half track more or less top centre of the picture. It seems to be some sort of board or canvas sheet. Is that to make it look like a lorry? Not seen that before.

For a time, the commander of 1 Canadian Division in Kingston (recent modern times) had a GMC Suburban as his rover. The rest of the troops had 5/4 ton trucks. I saw it once, and was struck by the odd roof rack. It was high tubular framing. It occured to me that his driver could mask the passenger vehicle with a cargo truck tarp. Same profile and otherwise indistinguishable.

Maybe the half-track crew / commander had the same thing in mind?
