Hi
I think the headlights I think are specific military. The side light are also called Butler side lights and are used on many war time British vehicles. Cheers

side lights
Harle'
Here are some pictures of the different side lights used on Canadian trucks. The first two are the type used on the early production #11 and #12 cab trucks the second two pictures are the side lights used on the later #13 cab trucks.

Hello
and thank's for your quick replys! Gordon, here is a picture from my "poor" convoy light, (so early type), but on the front fenders, the only holes I can find is on the top ,it was rewelded, but still there, that the way I thought it was for a buttler light like Niels says, and not for the comon canadian type. It was certainly use by the british army ,should it be possible to know more of this truck after the serial number Cheers Sylvain

Harle, the light in your picture likely wasn't original.

We might be getting a little confused, Harle.
For your particular CMP, both the front marker lights on the wings and the convoy lamp mounted underneath the rear of the vehicle, should be the early pattern conical, black rubber. To the best of my knowledge, all early, Canadian built CMP's for British Contracts were built using these conical rubber marker lights. If your CMP has the Lucas style lights fitted, two possibilities: (1) they were changed late in service life in the British Army for some reason, or, (2) they were changed in civilian life. My guess would be (2). The Lucas style lights on the wings might be easier to adapt to turn signal lamps than either the early or late pattern CMP marker lights. Hope this helps, David
