Yes, it does make sense as there was a shortage of trucks and an abundance of armoured vehicles. There were many makeshift conversions, see a snow plough/wrecker near Perth on my
C15TA survivors page. Another example is
Mike Ebeling's Otter which had its rear body cut off and a crane grafted on.

Many years ago, there was an article or letter in the MVT club magazine, "Windscreen", about C15TA converted to dumptrucks, working in the West Country. I cannot lay my hands on it at present, but seem to remember the front end, ie cab and bonnet, was retained.

If possible I'd like to hear more about this conversion.
Rated at 60-cwt, I wonder if the chassis/drivetrain was uprated?
