But I have got the impression that we are speaking about the two 15 cwt CMPs depicted in the second post of this thread. I mentioned there both were F15A. If I understood well Tony Smith’s remark he expressed his doubts concerning (1) it is the 4x4 version (body seating rather low and hub caps looking like those on non-driven axle, see point 1 on the enlarge view below) and (2) he thoughts there is Banjo diff visible on the leading vehicle (point 2 on the view below).

Here are my notes:
Concerning the hubs, you might be right, Tony.
Concerning the banjo, I do not thing the differential housing is really visible here, the light area there seems to be the rear towing hook hanger and the rest is covered by the person between the vehicle and camera.
And one more note: The military CMP trucks belonging to CS forces were always mentioned as Fords in known documents. It however refers to the situation after returning to UK after the missions in North Africa. So it is not impossible the truck be Chevy but Ford would be more likely.

Happy searching, Jan.
