Not an F8
Looks more like a C8A to me. What makes you think it's a Ford, David?
I think Cliff's right with the F60H, but I can't pick the body type. With the 16" wheels it might be one of the early ones with a GM front axle.

Small Book
The photos will I hope be in a small book on the second Canadian Mechanization Depot in Slough. The photo is a mystery to me..the truck carries a 'CMD' assembly number indicating that it had not been allocated a Census Number and may have been newly-assembled. It has a # 12 Cab and Lindsay house type body I thought BUT Canadian production ended in August 1941. Next to the F60H is a Ford Jeep to Canadian order, crated up for shipment with 'USPB'. Then there is what appears to be a C8A HUP, and yet it appears that these were assembled int he UK from spring 1942 onwards. Does anyone know when the first Canadian Jeeps were shipped overseas? I reckon the photo was taken in 1942 but the F60H which was one of about 200 shipped to the UK by August '41 looks anachronistic.
