Interestingly, the C60L Chevs in the "train" have Canadian serial numbers, and are recorded as having 10.50-16 tyres!
Looking closely at the AWM photo above, the trucks don't have roof hatches, suggesting they may be supplied assembled by Canada, not GMH built. The tyres also look smaller than 10.50-20, could it actually be correct that they were fitted with 16inch wheels? If these trailers actually are rated at over 9 tons gross, they may have required 16in wheels to gear down the tow vehicle to cope with the load.
