... I would say that this is a Swiss post war modification. Your Ward la France has the balance weight attached to the front bumper (these trucks were also used on the airfields to tow planes). I guess your plate is for attaching the Swiss military number plate. I'll have a look if I find some pics.

 Well, perhabs something is written in the Maintenance Manual TM-9-1796 (23 MB). On page 4 these plates are clearly visible.
