Rare beastie! L 4698419 to 4699544 'Lorry 3 ton A/Tank Portee' to Contract CM4919.
I cannot recall having seen a photo of one, but I have of the Chevrolet C60L equivalent [6-pounder Portee]. I have official photos of the truck as built, which is indeed an interesting truck to behold at first glance with its # 43 Cab, and an IWM photo of a rebuild from late 1943 to 3-ton GS, with a modified # 43 Cab. I would suggest that GM of Canada may have used the same drawings as Vauxhalls.
