Sudan Defence Force?
Hello Kuno,
I think the truck body that you have found looks very much like the ones made in about 1938 to 1940 for the Sudan Defence Force trucks.
These were often Fords pickups. There is a photo of one on page 105 in David Fletcher's book Mechanised Force.
These steel trays had that distintive curved angle at the join between the tray and the walls.
I have seen photos of larger trucks as well, but at present I cannot remember where it was I found them.
Does the cab firewall look like a 1938, 39 or 40 Ford?
I think the SDF supported the LRDG in some of their operations at Kufra or Siwa.
Regards
Nick Balmer
