Deacon
I hope this is not too small, but it comes from Mike Connifords series, and here it says that a number (?) of Deacons were converted to armoured ammunition carriers.
The conversions were carried out in the UK, so not all were sold to Turkey.
It makes me think that with the build up to the invasion, anything that was excess to requirements in other theatres was used for transport and load carrying, hence the use of converted portee Bedford and Austin 3 tonners.
Just another two penneth.
George.
