Yes, that's a rebuild of the C.8/MG 2-pounder Portee, that was of course very similar in body design to the Chevrolet version. However whereas Chevs were converted to G/S Trucks or 6-pounder/17-pounder Tractors, the M-C versions seems to have been converted, along with some/all C.8/P Predictors to the Tractor role in late 1943 by Morris Commercial Cars Limited in Birmingham. Rob and Monica of Groucho Publishing in Tilburg own a genuine Airportable version. There is of course at least one full size rebuikd on Portee in the UK as well. There are however detailed differences between the rebuilds on the Portees and the [using that word liberally] FAT Mk 111 No. 5, but it remains an enigma as to how many trucks based on the No. 5 were actually built!
Thanks guys for getting to the truth. Now I just wish that I could find some shots of the REAR of the /AT rebuilds...however we do, thanks to Rob&Monica, have copies of the blueprint drawings showing the conversion to the full size /AT Mk 111, and then it is clear how the rear body was removed. The seats for the crew were placed on either side of the truck behind driver/passenger. Phew, this has been a hard nut to crack.
