The Dodge engine may be present, you can't tell but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't bother to tool up to build an identical copy of a Ford with what looks suspiciously like FORD CANADA under the headlights. It even has the Ford horn and overflow tank. Perhaps they were contracted to modify a Ford F60S for gun towing. I see they removed the Ford badge from the grille.
The front fairleads are the typical 1944-45 third type as used on other CMPs.
I suspect the same goes for the one with the three badges in the publicity photos and the low-res pic of what is pretty obviously a Ford F15 with a Dodge badge.
