Default One for Hanno

Hanno, wear your MH hat for this one. Attached is a very poor pic of a Rumanian formation of light artillery and in the background you can barely see a Ford COE that certainly seems to be of the type found in Bart's book on military vehicles up to 1940 ( also have another pic from the same parade).

Do you have any more information on these trucks?

While I am at it, I am ashamed to admit I cannot identify the arty tractors either. I know they are based on some sort of medium or heavy car (car in the German sense of light truck) chassis but the lockers on the back I cannot find anywhere else and the spare wheels obviously stick up quite a bit on the drivers side.
Most of the typical Horch and MB vehicles had the spare wheels mounted midships and below the door line. The Rumanian site poster identified them as Horch but I can't find a Horch that looks just like this. Matter of fact, the closest I could come was a Phanomen Granit 1.5 ton heavy car but the pic I have, from Bart's WWII book shows a desert version with different sized tyres/wheels and a different mounting for the spare. The fender line and rear lockers and wheel center are all Phanomen similar.
Any ideas?
Bill
Edit: Chit!!! I forgot to resize it but you can do that I guess.
