So, what do we have here?

Picture was taken in South Sumatra, Indonesia, somewhere during 1946-1948.

This CMP truck is in use with Dutch troops, who inherited a lot of vehicles from the British Indian Army units which first occupied Indonesia in 1945.

Default In postwar Canada?

An F22 in postwar Canada? More likely a rebuilt FGT as it has a winch, though.

Something that I wonder is if any F22 would have arrived in Argentina and if they would be contemporary with the FGT 7B3 body? . So far none have appeared. But if we can say that I have seen a pair of C15A with a CGT Transfer case, but without the Winch accessories. No are there dataplates to find out if there was also a Chevrolet C22.....
