In the early stages of the war the Commonwealth troops had mainly 11/12 cab CMP's and the Germans were more often then not the winning side at this stage. So there fore it stands to reason that a lot of 11/12 cabs were captured by the Germans. Later in the war when 13 cab's were issued in large numbers the Allies were the winning side so it stands to reason that not many 13 cab CMP's would have been captured compared with 11/12 cabs and those that were probably were used in their original Allied configuration except for the German Crosses on the doors and perhaps a german flag drapped over the roof as there would not be time to reconfigure the vehicle too much as the DAK were in retreat and lost all their vehicle stocks in the end anyway.
