Are you looking at the 3 beehive lamps sometimes called Identification lamps, indicating a larger vehicle (>80" wide)? Similar lamps were retrofitted to My M135 and I have seen the remnants on CMPs picked up. Normally they would be added when the truck was civil registered but my M135 had never been civilianized so DND must have been adding these lamps at some time.

The CMP in the background also has this 3-light fixture.
Many years ago at Princess Auto in Winnipeg, they had a late Chev Cab 13, 15-cwt Wireless truck sitting on it's frame in a field to the left of the front of the old Quonset hut building John used to work out of. It had been a traffic accident write off direct from the Army and it also had one of those 'clearance' lamps mounted, but not to the leading edge of the roof, as those in this photo appear to be. The lamps at Princess were mounted on top of the front edge of the roof, lamps pointing upwards. David

I'm envious, yes they make the FAT look great! We'll have to to have a FAT reunion maybe in Calgary at some point.
Pic of an Iltis on the back of the CGT just pulled it from Chilliwack for the Hyack pRade tomorrow, I think it's lighter than the limber. Cheers from the West Walde

Looking forward to meeting you Walde...
the bloody golf business just doesn't allow me to get away in the summer when everyone else is out and about with their vehicles. I am posting this here, because I can't afford it overseas, the correct FAT plotting table on EBAY. Looking for one in Canada, with the larger one in trade. Cheers Rob http://www.ebay.ca/itm/261899104303?...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I note the board you are looking for is the no2mk1. I ran out to the shed and my larger one is a no3mk1. I'll keep my eyes open for a no2. Prefair had a stack of these (no3mk1) a few years ago. The guy tried to get me to buy the whole pile, but I used self restraint and only brought 4 of them home. Almost cost me as much as the whole pile price.
