Default ID trucks in Liverpool, 1944 please?

We have seen this photo before of course...Pearsons Ltd in Liverpool, 1944 with CMPs, Jeeps, White half-tracks, Diamond Ts, but can we identify please:
  1. The actual model of Mack wreckerts under the roof in the yard, on the left...suggestion is Canadian order LMSW-57?
  2. The Dimaond T wrecker next to the Macks...968/9 or was it a Canadian 975A? It doesn't look like a lwb 975A to me?
  3. The make of tipper truck with the odd-looking front end in the yard? There is another in the distance and also a GMC 6 x 4 COE with crates on...
  4. What is the van-lookalike square fronted truck between the right GMC and the tipper just behind the fence? The Ford Jeep next to it is M5844943 [Contract S/M 2276]
The tractor units are 1940 Model GMC units, probably civilian-order but have Compressors or Generators on the semi-trailer.
