Default Ids please?

I am of course hopeless about identifying CMP types so may I have an opinion on these please? The two trucks I assume are C8s?

You can tell the one on the left is a Chev by the pumpkin style rear end. On the other pic you can tell by the grille guard going ahead of the bumper. They're all cab 12s.

Default Thanks!

Thank you! It is just possible that some of these trucks, after assembly in England, were subsequently shipped to Egypt and then ended-up with the AIF. Of course they were then shipped to Aussiland, and survivors demobbed, with a few still surviving!
