The picture below shows the well known modification of Ford T used as a partol car in Mesopotamia after the WW I. As far as I know this is the only picture of this particular vehicle which was published in many books or articles. Anyway, it seems to be kind of an official photo, which could mean that there would be also another pictures having been made. Has any ethusiast any clue about another view(s) of this patrol car? And one more question, what about the color? Could it be some kind of sand color, or something like Dark Earth? Or any other ideas?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
Jan.

Jan,

Under the words " 3 SEC " on the side of the car, I can make out the letters "M M G S", which means Motor Machine Gun Service. Go to the following website for more information, they state that there are a lot of photographs available to them;

Hope this is of help.
