Default RHD?

Hanno, is the truck not rhd? Close scrutiny of my screen suggests under correction that it is. I agree, I discount ex-French on reflection. I suggest a captured Gantry truck to S/M 2023 ...were they used in North Africa?

L 4552457 to 4553198 [unless there were any Mid-East theatre Census Numbers in addition] 1940-41 Canadian Dodge Model DCM-4? [equivalent of the US WK-60] with Welles-Thornton rear bogie, Serials # 8,300,001 – 8,300,742? I say DCM-4, although it would appear that they were WK-60 chassis railed across from the Dodge truck plant in Detroit to Windsor and then 'assembled' to British specs. after addition of the Thornton bogie supplied by Thornton's Canadian agents.
