The other in photo 2 looks like a Morris.
In photo 3, both seem to be CMP based but I am not all that good at non standard vehicles.

Now, where in the hell did the 39 LHD Chev come from??
Not a body style that is normal either. Very interesting photo.

Hi Les:
Agree with you on all points concerning the CDN/Brit vehicles.

We need more expertise than exists in my little brain about the Chev.
Type of uniform and helmets would help as well as to ID the artillery piece.
Attilio could also help us by providing any caption information regarding where the photo was taken and when.

There may be an Italian connection and the Rumanians and Italians fought "together" in several conflicts.

subtropical chev
 
me gut feeling (sorry Bill, no expertise) tells me the first pic is a Portuguese Chev (the helmets, the cobbled streets, the small wihitewashed houses second that). They had the French 75, but them again who hadn't...ai caralho!

Trucks identification
 
Thanks for the responses!
I haven't any data where the cations where taken.

The truck in the pic n. 3 is a captured CMp manned by Italian Bersaglieri with a Breda 20 mm truck mounted gun.
Can be a C 60 L?

The pics n. 4 is a Conus gun, a free french truck mounted 75 mm mod 1897 gun but I dont know if it is Ford or Chev
From the census number 4713127 it is possible to establish if is a Chevy truck?

Thanks

Attilio
