There's evidence of Ford cab 12s too, eg. Cobb Force vehicles brought back by 7th Div. There was even a portee amongst them! Following account makes for excellent reading: http://www.2nd7thcavalry.com/cobbforce/

There's also a few pics in AWM series 044336 - 044343. One of them is named Joan, don't know if Clementine was there.
