Default AIF trucks

L4514651 CVT C.60. L CAS to L4623556 CVT C.60. L CAS...suggest that these were 30-cwt 2-pdr Anti-tank Portees to S/M 2029 if the known Census Numbers for Portees is correct!

The 3-ton 4 x 2 trucks might be Ford EC098TFS to S/M 2004 if any were shipped off from the UK to Alexandria, or could be locally assembled Egyptian Ford equivalents. I think I have just proven my suggestion as the truck on the left is a NZEF-issued truck, to S/M 2004!!!




I agree that the others are probably AIF serials. On photos it seems that the 'AIF' does not always come out against the camo paint jobs. I have never seen 'AIF' before the British Census Number.
ADDED:

'I found this shot on the NZ Library website'.. it's a C60L # 12 Cab I think to S/M 2019, similar to the AIF truck[s]. The Census Number appears to be L 1304787, and thus part of the same batch as L 1305132!
