Thread with T16s in postwar service with the Netherlands Army.

T16 with Dutch registration number 39862:




T16 with Dutch registration number 39934 climbing a dune, 1948.
Note it has a large box added on top of the engine cowling, the use is unknown to me.

David Gordon commented: "Its the large box that should be all the way in the rear on the driver side. Bren spare barrel and wallet would be in a smaller box bolted to the front of it. Swiss took them out and got rid of them altogether. It has a single divider inside and was meant to hold the issued tarp and camouflage net."
