Judging by the stenciling I think this is one of the ex-French Navy CMP trucks. This Chevrolet C60S(?) seemed to reside in Belgium at the time of advertising on MilWeb.net:

Default C60S Tanker

What an excellent project and a unique opporunity to save the rare original NATO era paint and Canadian markings.

Nice view of a Cab 11 / 12 CMP petrol tanker in post war service.
Click on rh corner for nice clear big pic.
BTW you are supposed to be able to 'embed' these pics in a website but I cannot work out how !

Chalky, the way I do it, is by saving the picture (or make a screenshot) and than uploading it to the forum afterwards with the "manage attachments" button.
The website in question does indeed have has an option for embedding, but I also can't get that to work!

It looks like a Cab 11 Chevrolet C60S (bonnet, brush, solid mirror arms, 20inch wheels).

edit: Sorry, I just noted you had already uploaded the picture!
