Interesting data - however I thought I had read some different figures and it has taken me this long to find them.
Wheels and Tracks #6 had an article on the Humber and its derivatives, together with a half page of technical data (Page 28), on the base model, FV 1601A (Truck 1 ton , 4x4 CT Cargo).
It states there that the Kerb weight was 8420 lbs (3819 kg) and the Gross weight was 11,477 lbs (5206 kg).
I've got a WC 55 which weighs in at around 5,500 lbs - making the Dodge much heavier than the Humber based on the figures quoted above. A look at both vehicles would tell you that can't be the case.
