I can add a crumb.
I've seen one of these trucks, didn't note the model number, but it was a Diamond T made specifically for the Canadian army and longer wheelbase than a wrecker or cargo, so sounds like the same. It was fitted with a very nice Bay City crane, convertible to clamshell shovel setup.
Near Porsgrunn in Oslofjord, around 1990, and belonging to a Norwegian club member. Presumably purchased from the auctions at Kongsberg which wasn't that far away.
