Default Royal Navy 30 Assault Unit

Jeep + 10-cwt mortar trailer and a GM C15TA standing in front of a butcher's shop somewhere in Germany, 1945? These vehicles were in use with the British 30 Assault Unit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._30_Commando).

Fyll shared some stills from British Pathe footage many years ago. IIRC this footage was made in Hamburg at the closing stages of WW2, showing a 30 Assault Unit action.
But the details are currently lost as I cannot find it on the British Pathe site nor on the Missing Lynx forum.

Note the registration number "48154 RN", denoting this was Royal Navy vehicle.

A while ago there was quite a bit of discussion on these over at Missing Lynx, http://www.network54.com/Forum/47208/thread/1068736249/
