Default More RN vehicles part 2

Here are the other vehicles (4 photos) of 1MLRU in the North African Desert somewhere between Algiers and Sousse between April and July 1943.
Again can anybody identify the trucks and motorbike?

Photos 1 & 3 are of a MCP Chevrolet also known as the "Lendlease Chev". Photo 2 could be a Morris Commercial but I am not 100% certain of this. Photo 4 is unknown to me but the wheels are the major identification point on this vehicle. I also have no idea what the Motorcycle make is.

The first motorcycle looks Italian to me (possibly a Gilera?), but the second one is definitely an early BSA M20.
