The third contract for Quads incorporated an order for C.8/AT 2-pounder portees which again had no winch, and were very simiar to the Chevrolet FAT derivatives. We know that a quantity shipped out to the Mid-East were initially allocated/loaned to the AIF [and NZEF?].

* Perhaps those with more knowledge than me on MCC can comment further on this?
Any comments on these Morrisi survivors? (What IS the plural for Morris?)The first one is a Gun Tractor, with winch:
