No data plates present, but it does have the aperture for the speaker tube in the back of the cab.

Is the lever with PTO (see separate thread) part of the Wireless Truck configuration?
I don't think that PTO config. can be linked to wireless use. My bet is on a post-war mod, but I am curious if Grant can find out more about the water bowser.

By the way; Is the lever for the Transfer case missing? Or am I confusing things? That would mean it's permanently in two or 4 wheel drive(?).

Maurice, do you know where this C15A came from? France as well? Or ex-Dutch army? If it's the latter, than I would't be surprised if it's a mix of parts and a GS body and spare tyre carrier could easily have landed on a Wire5 chassis....or maybe more likely a Cab rear wall from a 15cwt or 20cwt Wireless truck or Ambulance on a C15A GS truck. I agree with Grant that you should be able to find some kind of evidence, like the extensive use of grounding wires, if the truck was once a Wire5 (or Wire1).
