Indeed, they were part of the personnel variant (see my web site) of the 15-cwt truck - which was not more than a standard G.S. body with tubular superstructure and canopy and seats provided in the back for 4 to 6 men.

I know of only a few pics, see attachments. I think the back rests were made of wood on wooden bodies, and made of steel on steel ones.

I would be interested in a set of Gert's copies.

Thanks,
