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!
