Default S/M 2028

Those 2-pdr Portees were to S/M 2028..which made me realise that they were officially 30-cwt A/tank trucks! That said they used the C-GT chassis as we all know...so therefore can we say that the C-GT and thus the F-GT chassis were 30-cwt, 101" w.b.? Does that make sense when assessing the Indian Pattern FATs?

The # 42 cab 2-pdr Portee chassis was based on the C-GT # 12 C-GT/FAT chassis, and it seems that the chassis numbers were mixed in with standard C-GTs. Oshawa thought that they were the same McCoy ..does this make the C-GT a 30-cwt. capacity as well as the Portee?
