Don't know if I posted this before but anyway it was in a batch of photos I just found again from the late 1960's which were apparently taken at some sort of "Armed Forces Day". display.
As I find the time I will try to post some more WWII vehicles still in use by Holland at that time.

Bill, I´m pretty sure the C15TA was no longer in active service with the Royal Netherlands Army by the late 1960´s, the DAF YP 408 wheeled APC was in service by that time.
During an "Open Day" is is common practice to display some historic vehicles as well. My guess this C15TA is one of them - it could even be the one currently on display at the Cavalry Museum at Amersfoort:

Hanno:
Good tip and reminds me of such shows I used to attend when I was in my youth. When I was living on Marine Corps Bases, they would have at least two or three such shows a year and always had historical vehicles, aircraft and landing craft on display as well as the current stuff. I have not found the rest of that batch of pics but I do remember GMC, Dodge and a few British vehicles were represented.
