Lynn,

They are Fords indeed. Look at the flathead V8's and the stencilling on the wooden boxes. They are right-hand drive and have tyres with off-road tread, so most likely for local military customers. Looks like 1½ Ton Truck 134" w.b. chassis/cabs delivered as assembled chassis plus drive lines - note the engine crated on the chassis! I cannot see cowls or cabs, but often cargo bodywork and details would be of local manufacture.
