WW1 motor vehicle ID's required please
 

While browsing through the AWM data banks I found some photos of vehicles built for the military by the Victorian Railway Workshop in 1915.

Can anyone ID the makes of the following vehicles for me please?.

cheers

Cliff,

Not much help but a few clues for the knowledgable people on the Operating Theatre.

Engine bay is sealed indicating a rear flywheel/fan. This design was a specialty of sophisticated European manufacturers FIAT ITALA etc.

On the other hand the radiator sitting proud of the bonnet was favoured by a number of American companies. This was the REO trademark right up until the mid thirties. Unfortunately I have seen British and European trucks also with that feature.

Only muddied the water but it might jog a memory.

Thank you Lang. Rather then muddy the waters so to speak I have learnt a little about early trucks from your post.

I am hopeing to do models of these at some stage.

cheers
