The "curb" weight is actually refered to as the TARE weight, which is the Total At Rest Empty. This includes the weight of the vehicle, fuel, oil, spare wheel and tools (for British 4x2 15cwts usually around 6cwt or 672lbs).
The total weight of the vehicle is the TARE + payload (in this case 15cwt or 1,680lbs= 3/4 ton) + weight of driver and his mate. Keep in mind that the payload is a cross-country payload, post-war 15cwts were often loaded for on-road use to 1ton or 2240lbs.
Cheers,
Dave
