Have been looking at your pictures of the FWD.
In case you didn't know the meaning of the data plate ;
GL Mk111, Canadian,
Truck number 3,
Assembly ZC/C2675
Well, the vehicle was used for towing the Canadian version of the Gun-Laying (GL) Radar Mk3. This radar was carried in 2 trailers, one each for receiver and transmitter. A third trailer was used to tow the generator, a 15kVA Lister or similar.
The towing vehicles would probably have specialist bodies for carrying all the crew and kit associated with the radar setup.
Your vehicle was truck number 3, but what it actually towed I do not know.
Hope this is of interest to you.
