I have now found an even earlier quote of GMC CCKW's in British use in Wheels & Tracks magazine no.53, p.37: "I [R.D.(Dick) Okill] went out to the Middle East for El Alamein and joined the 37th LAA which had come down from Syria and we re-equipped with American Bofors guns and
some 6x6 GMCs as towers, with American Ford 3-tonners and one Morris artillery tractor."
