No, not Israeli.
Hint 2: it is post-war.

Nope, nice try but that's WW2 British.
When I saw the pictures of this tow hook I was thinking of a WW2 British / Canadian vehicle as well. Went through all sorts of references but could not find what I was looking for. Never saw those two huge bumpers before, so what could it be?!?

But I'll stop hinting. When I was looking for something else (as things go), I stumbled over some pictures of a French Renault R2087 truck. . . . Now, where did the engineer at Renault get his inspiration from?
Moral of the story is: you never find what you're looking for, except when you are searching for something else!

Given the age of the vehicle, it's possible that they used parts from abandonned carriers. I'm reliably informed that early Simca SUMB trucks used V8's left over from recycled carriers.

Same is true for the V8's, while they were further developments of the wartime engine, there are too many differences. Possibly the SUMB prototype used a salvaged engine, but regular production engines were really new, further developed engines. See After Market Flatheads or sites like Installation of the French Flathead V8 to let your reliable informant read up about the differences. HTH, Hanno
