F60b

I guess it depends on how many were manufactured as the vehicle may also have been used in Canada during the war, and those F60B vehicles could have been shipped to the Netherlands in the early 1950s.

Here are more photos of F60Bs parading in the town of Scheveningen on Queens Day, 30 April 1952. At least four were in the parade, sporting their postwar Canadian Army Registration. One is "83-365", the other numbers are obscured.

Fantastic collection of photographs -- so little time, so many models to be built.
Cheers, Martin

Thanks for engaging with us on here, Martin!

Never pledge to build all possible variations of the CMP family of vehicles - by the time you think you are finished someone will dig up 6 more variants :)

Here's another photo of Otter LRCs in service with the Military Police in 1961:

The Ford F30 LAAT is a rare beast, as far as I can tell. The Netherlands Army had a number of them, along with C30 LAATs.

An F30 with census number 32957 in the Second Vehicle Park, Stroe, 1945:
