So you don't have any further info? Pictures? A contact who can tell us more about CMP assembly and/or use in India?

We have still not resolved the query about:
S/M 6337 Ford Model Number C291Q.L.-1
S/M 6389 Ford Model Number C291WQ / C291Q.L-W E.g. # 5G-420-F 11/1945

which were based on the F15A chassis...did we agree that the "W" related to "Winch"?
Chassis s/n CK-236140 / engine s/n 5G-420-F is a November 1945 C291Q.L-W, built under S/M 6389. Popularly dubbed "F22", we know from surviving examples these are 101" three-ton chassis without winch, bodied as GS cargo or Water Tank trucks. I don't know what "L" or "W" stands for; possibly the latter stands for Water Tank? :
