Thanks, so it is just another case of a 15-cwt retrofitted with a winch, as so many were post-war.

There's no evidence of fairleads front or rear. Of course it would have been refitted with a two speed transfer case to use the winch. This is not an uncommon conversion. The ultimate test is to ask for the chassis number and I bet it's 8444...
