This photo has gobsmacked me because it is captioned:

WVS HOT MEALS SERVICE: WARTIME FOOD DISTRIBUTION, BIRKENHEAD, CHESHIRE, 1942
Mrs Jacob pauses beside her van for a photograph with a group of children who are helping her to carry food from the van into their school. Mrs Jacob is the Central Organiser for Birkenhead Women's Voluntary Service and carries a box of bread. The Ministry of Food van was presented by the people of Malta. It appears to be raining.

I am terrible at iding CMPs but it looks to me like a Ford F8 # 12 Cab...in which case it is the earliest provable demobbed CMP I have come across! I have my doubts on a similar-aged Chevrolet C8 which had a # 11 Cab from memory used by the Salvage Corps but this is clearly 1942!
