This picture and caption is from RCHA-Right of the LIne. It seems like quite the vehicle for 1934. How many of these did they make?

RCHA Jeeps
Howdy Cletrac:
I stand to be corrected but I beleive there were ultimately 18 of them, six for each of A, B and C Batteries. There is one original in the CWM. Interestingly, the backs were flatdecks with the seats and bins being made up by removing the boxes from four limbers and mounting them on the flatdeck. So those "jeep" guys now have more proof that the name existed long before the ubiquitous little trucks they love. UBIQUE! Mike

I assume that they were called 'Jeeps' after the cartoon character in Popeye?

Service publications has a couple of nice pics of these units and details to go with them. They also have picture of a crash tender mounted on one, very cool. The title is " The Halftrack in Canadian Service".
