Default Indian films of CMP assemby

The aero screens on the cab 12 must have been a Indian pattern thing. And the chassis colour ( light stone ) being the same colour as the bodywork suggests CKD from the Canadian plant. Appears to be C15 models fitted with a local van style body.

Nice find, I really would not mind one of those Aero Screen C15’s or one of the AK style trucks

Default Indian Pattern CMPs

Nice find indeed! Chassis/ cowls and chassis/ cabs shipped over from Canada, after assembly they were fitted with locally made Indian Pattern bodies and canopies at "A Defense Plant In India", most likely Bombay. I like to see how they are driven off for body fitting, possibly only a crate for the driver to sit on.


Some more interesting footage to be seen if you scroll down for "similar videos". I wonder where the people from pond5/ RetrofootageExclusives got this footage?
