Thanks!

It's probably a "HUW', or the wireless version of the HUP. The rear of the cab is the metal partition that was used in HUW's and not HUP's. Where is it located? The door number looks odd (for someone of limited experience like me). If in Canada early numbers (the vehicle dates from 1942) would be a 'unit' (then a line under it), z (for truck, and another line) then a 5 digit serial. From 1942 onwards numbers (in Canada) were two numbers/dot/three more numbers.

Could the data plates from that truck be had? I know a worthy restoration that would benefit greatly from them.
