David, as decribed by Data Book of Wheeled Vehicles: Army Transport 1939-1945, the US-built Ford 3 ton 4x2 with 6-cyl. engine and 158" wb chassis must have had the Ford US model code G8T for 1941 models and 2G8T for 1942 (and onwards) models. Note the use "mud and snow" tread tyres, these are the common American bar tread tyres.

Do you have any more details about S.M. 2451? Dates, numbers delivered?

Thanks,
Hanno
