What was the backbody framework and cladding made from?
Framed in timber with sheet metal cladding.

Were there any with double rear wheels?
No, at least not built to use duals - they would have had to remove the rear mudguards to make them fit! The only CMPs which used them as far as I can see was the Australian medium wheelbase tipper, and the post-war Metropolitan wrecker, although some No6 Bofors tractors were modified in the field. Incidentally at least some if not all the Metropolitan wreckers were built using surplus No6 Bofors tractor chassis, but I digress.
