Hope you don't think I'm a P.I.T.A!

Cheers!
If you look at the photos of the factory Chev you will see that it has no provision for the folding canvas cab roof whereas the 'Indian Pattern' trucks do. The Later 1533X2 LRDG trucks were made new in the factory to the LRDG's design so in effect were just another 'model' of new truck rather then trucks the LRDG modified for their own use. Mind you they were probably modified further by the troops that used them.
