41 ford 3 ton 4x4

[Gordons]

Most of the MH Fords where this model, a few where RH drive with roof hatch's, also there where earlier models with fender mounted head lights but they seemed to be 2 ton models and mostly aircraft refueling trucks.

As for prototype, frankly speaking, I can't imagine how 1941 trucks could appear in Axis service in visible numbers, especially with Marmon-Herrington conversion.

Most similar versions per my understanding are:
1. Dutch 1940 Fords with following changes
- it should be 1940 Front-ornament on the hood instead of 1941
- headlight stands from 1938/39 models (without lamp)
- additional wing lights similar to harley Knucklehead (optional)
- Nederlandsche-Ford emblem (optional)
Also i'd note that
- typical German gaparite pins are very rare on such trucks, however notek light was addded sometimes.
- Left mirror is untypical (acualy i never seen that)

2. US 1940 trucks shipped to Finland in large quantities
- it should be 1940 Front-ornament on the hood instead of 1941
- Typically, cargo bed has low sides and another canvas
- Again, there are no left mirror.
- No gabarite pins

Also, such type of canister mounting is typical to German-originated Fords only.
