The C8 is a 2wd 8cwt Chev, but this is not the type used widely by NZ. NZ Army and RNZAF used the C8AX, a 4wd GS truck.

this photo and vehicle type was new to me in NZ/RNZAF service. I believe it is F15A but is it a No 11 or No 12 cab?

It is indeed a 15cwt 4wd, but the front diff is a Chev type. While some early Ford F15A 11 Cabs did use Chev axles, this is actually a Chev 12 Cab C15A.
