I agree with Kevin.....An ACK353 during it's ownership by the third (?) party.....French, German, Canadian.

Interesting picture Clive. Do you know where and when it was taken?

L181462 relates, according to the Chilwell lists, to a Ford Lorry, 1 ton 4x2 GS (V3593 - L181101 - L181600).

I wonder if the marking that we're looking at on the off-side wing is the yellow top corner over blue of the tactical marking for a Royal Artillery Survey Regiment with a white bar below indicating Army troops ? It's my best guess from thumbing through Hodges & Taylor anyway.

There's a couple of fascinating pictures on eBay.de at the moment :-

ebay 170556777285 & 170556790835



I'll leave it to the Ford and Chev fans to fight this one out !

Well, Rich, the top photo is a Chev and the bottom one is a Ford.
As to exactly which models they are, I am not sure but they are really interesting photos.

Default Top photo

Yes, top photo is a Chevrolet C15 by the look of it, and not in Allied hands!
