This is the unique photo from April or May 1940 of Fords, and as I never can tell which chassis is which, have to assume are indeed as Dr Gregg suggested, 15-cwts with GM axles. However can anyone see a front diff? I have no evidence that there were any F15A units assembled at that time, although there is enough to show that the F15s were the first to be assembled. I have to discount conversion to 4 x 4 drive and if the eagle-eyed out there cannot see any front-drive system then these must have had GM straight front axles and banjo-type rears.
50 of the 175 CKD units were of course lost in France with the remainder continuing to serve with the CIF 1st Division until supplemented by trucks for the 2nd Division.
