These Jeeps I’m still trying to track down. I believe they may have been the three other Jeeps taken on the raid but not landed. Mention is made that 4-6 Jeeps were sent from 2nd Canadian Infantry Division for the Dieppe Raid. These Jeeps do show up in the landing trials done in the summer of 1942. They all appear to CDLV242 contract Jeeps. There also appears to be racking added to both the front and rear of the jeep. In the one picture of a jeep leaving a landing craft, there appears to be a Churchill tank intake shroud in the back.
