Default Manuals

I've just purchased several manuals from a guy in England. The first one is a small buff covered Instruction book printed in August 1940 and is basically a drivers handbook for both Ford & Chevolet Trucks. On the front of this one, written on in ink it says:
968 Coy RASC and then a guys name Arnold Imredon. On the first page at the top there is a vehicle number, that is CL 4425996. Anyone have an idea as to what vehicle this was ?
The second book is a Chevolet Illustrated Spare parts list 1940-1942, No 197 printed August 1942.
The other manual, I've never seen before.This one is a Maintainance Manual CB-C1 for modified conventional pattern vehicles, Chevolet 3 Ton 4x2. Models CC60L/x2-CC60L/x3, October 1944. All the above were printed in Canada.
According to the introduction, the CC60L/x2 was fitted with 10.50x16 tyres and a 2 speed rear axle, whilst the x3 version was a single speed rear axle, but was shod with dual 7.00x20 tyres. Both versions used a 216 engine, although the x3 version was fitted with a govoner. Does anyone know if any of these trucks have survived? Just inside the front cover there is a supplement for Tropical Maintainance, which makes me wonder if they where only supplied to Asia or maybe Australia.
I look forward to your feedback
Keith
