Early CMPs in NW Europe

Difficult to see, due to the quality of the picture....but I see what you mean, Owen....the left one could indeed be a cab11. I think the other two show the alligator hood of the cab 12.
Chev or Ford...I think the middle one might be a Chev based on the bumper brush guard.

Look to be a few others in that series, including close-ups of the 5.5s. Location given as S. of Vaucelles. None online unfortunately.

Just spotted this one.....3rd British Infantry division Cab11 or 12 ....with what looks like a retro-fitted round hatch.

A Cab 12 Ford FGT, pictured right at the end of the war in Europe during the liberation of Dordrecht on 8 May 1945:

And a Chevrolet Cab 12, looks like a C30?

Sorry guys....scraping the bottom of the barrel....but they are early CMP's in NWE.

1st.....Monkey face in Oegstgeest, near Leiden 1945.
2nd...Monkey face, liberation of Leiden 1945 (same truck as above??)
3rd...Amsterdam 1945

All three above, source: https://beeldbankwo2.nl/nl/

4th.....location and source unknown, but according to the caption it's NWE....possibly the Netherlands or Germany. To me it seems to show a retro-fitted round roof hatch on the Monkey face.

4th pic is not even a CMP, but a UK Ford WOT6 (or maybe WOT8) .
