In the thread On a Normandy beach... Steve Guthrie noted "one of the Canadian loading tables for D-Day mentions the use 'Trailers, Jahn'. Jahn was one of the manufacturers of the standard US Army 1-ton trailer".

The final open cab as you say was the Type or Number 43S which was a hard, open, wider, cab with little relationship to the 43 it seems unless the windscreen had common parts!!
Did not know that, thanks. Learned something new today about CMPs!
