Chris,
I don't know what all this carry-on is about.
Look at 20 replies from the world's "experts" on CMPs and nobody can agree on what you would imagine would be an easily verifiable thing like the weight of their vehicles. How is the Swiss registration office going to know?
The 15cwt is so close to your Swiss licence limits that you just wheel it in and put down an eye pleasing number on the application form. It must be a British and European authority thing I have noticed regularly on this site. Everybody seems keen to confess their sins and draw the crabs by fanfaring anomalies in their vehicle's adherance to the rules when they have a POSSIBLY marginal situation.
Tell them nothing, take them nowhere! Obeying every rule only encourages the bastards. If your local inspector knocks it back take it to the next town until you find someone who will pass it or go Lichtenstein or Bulgaria - I am sure an MLU member will forward registration renewal letters each year from his address.
Chris, if you want to just ship the truck to Alexandria, I will drive from Alamein to Europe with you (if you pull the front axles out the 15cwt 4x4 is quite a nippy little machine on the highway. Well, sort of)
