Thanks for joining MLU and making your first posts. I am not sure why you say that this is a prototype when my list, posted above, clearly shows that it is a pre "DND Pattern" production vehicle?
In fact, it is almost a common commercial vehicle with a few spec changes requested by DND, prior to developing a CMP standard.

Hi Clive
It's just a reference to "MLU CMP Softskin Vehicles" stating that development started in 1935, with Ford participation in 1937 then GM 1938. In MLU photo album "Early CMPs", you can see the photo of a prototype and the two photos of 1940 Morris commercial truck which is very close to a cab-over design. Your list certainly proved that a small run of trucks with different bodies were produced in 1938 or 1939 and not only one prototype.
