If this truck is indeed a # 11 or # 12 Cab...can't tell which ...then it is most likely a very rare survivor from contract Supply/Mechanical 2002, 3,000 of which were ordered to be delivered to Egypt for assembly in Alexandria starting around January 1941 although the order was placed in July 1940 with subsequent amendments. Production then started in September 1940. These trucks were then issued to and used by the British Army, AIF, NZEF and possibly Indian Army. Those survivors that had been issued to Commonwealth Forces were sold to the respective Governments and subsequently shipped back in the case of the Antipodean trucks for further service.
