UNEF I, Sinai, Egypt (Suez Crisis), 1963
In 1964 the 8th Hussars (Princess Louise's) took a bunch of brand new M151 with them for their UN Emergency Force (UNEF) rotation. Note the lack of windscreens and .30 Browning machine-gun. These M151 were most likely supplied to the UN by the United States.
The UNEF M151s were painted overall white. "UNEF 1632" and "UNEF 1633" was painted in white on a black squares on rear bumperettes and front bumper. Note the ammunition boxes fixed on the right mudguard as stowage boxes.
