This configuration was not built during WW2, the crane must have been added in civvy street. Looks like a professionally converted Chevrolet, though.

That would be a nice truck to restore just the way it is. The boom is a tad high for the phone wires though..

I agree, it would be quite some work to put it back into WW2 configuration, and this conversion is very well engineered - plus a handy tool, too!
