Default C15TAs parading in Utrecht

Here are a number of photos of C15TA Armoured Trucks taken at the town of Utrecht, The Netherlands. They are all taking part in the Memorial D-Day Parade of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division in Utrecht, The Netherlands, 6 June 1945.

Most of the vehicles in this parade have been cleaned up and/or repainted during the month since the fighting ceased. There are some interesting details to be seen.


The truck on the right seems to have a raised canvas roof.

Two photos of what seem to be the same trucks.
Note the wire frame rack over the driver's position on the C15TA on the left.
The items on the left front fender look like chore horses under a canvas cover. So are these Signals trucks?
And notice the headlights are not the standard items.

Another one with a roof rack.
Both trucks have one headlight fitted with a black-out shield.
No census numbers visible, possibly they were repainted.
