Hi Guys, it is nice dsicussion, isn´t it. When I saw the picture yb the first time, presented as a GMC, I had a feeeling that there something wrong. Than I came to the two points, one being the holes in tailgate and the second were teh short bumperetes which did not "fit into my eye". I however have not mentioned it to avoid the influence on possible comments. You guys in fact came to the same results. The holes in teh tailgate, it could be a field modification, teh purpose is clear. Concerning the bumperetes, it really looks like it would be Studebaker.
Unfortunately, I was olways more interested in technical aspects rather than historical (or time, let us say) consequencies, so I have absolutely no idea about in which time and quantity the vehicles were delivered to which "customer". Anyway, teh unit is (probably) Czech Armored Brigade, in the time of this parade located in UK. Almost all other vehicles they used, excl. Jeep and Stuart tanks, were made in UK or Canada. I have seen also some 1938 Chevy when the unit was in Africa. But neither GMCs nor Studebakers. All Studebakers Czech used came from the Eastern Front where Czech units weer part of the Red Army. But still, does anybody any clue concernning the L- number? Is there any list of numbers dedicated to different units?
Happy searching, Jan.
By the way, if some of you guys happen to go to Prague, let me know, there is always "something" to discuss
