As I understand it, most 13 cab C15s have the spare wheel on the left side as in the photo. I think that some Indian bodied ones have it on the right but that is an Australian body isn't it ? The one in the picture not only has the hatch on the right but I think it is possible to make out the steering wheel on the left. If anyone had a clearer version of the photo it should be possible to tell by the Chevrolet badge as this is not siametrical.

It would appear that the photo is reversed.

Well spotted, the photo is indeed mirrored!
The aircraft door had me puzzled as it seems to be a Dakota, which has a cargo door on the left hand side (the military C-47, that is).
But if you look closely it looks like the smaller passenger door which was fitted to the right hand side on some civilian DC-3’s.
