Plus of course there were Guys in the mix as well, presumably brought back by various other 6th and 7th Div arty units. Here's another example of the Nov '42 camo scheme seen on the F15A, with Dark Green very obvious on the front wheel. Not sure there's much point trying to push one of these through sand! 304846 HMAS ASSAULT, COMBINED OPERATIONS SCHOOL, PORT STEPHENS, NSW..jpg

Interestingly, hardly any on the vehicles in this thread show much use of Micky Mouse Camo, that was supposed to be in use 1942-44. I guess that by the time the Allies got to Belgium and Holland an all over colour was adopted.
More photos anyone?

Here you go Larry:
Two Ford F15A 4x4 15-cwt trucks, one Ford staff car and two CMP 3-ton trucks by the railway overpass at the Ringbaan-Oost - Bosscheweg intersection at Tilburg, 10-1944. They are on their way to the battles along the Wilheminakanaal. No noticeable camouflage that I can see. Those chunky tyres made me think for a second these F15As were F22s...... 12375.jpg Source: https://hdl.handle.net/21.12103/7dfe...9-4bad5d5e999e

Lovely picture, Hanno!
It looks like the first 3Ton truck of the two is a MACH-M1 Machinery truck. Alex

Is that front diff painted white? I thought they generally only did the rear one.
