1952 M38 -original find-

[BCA]

As David pointed out, this M38 may have had an ambulance kit which would account for the barren tailgate: re- located spare tire bracket and lack of gas can carrier. There may be some additional holes where the rear ambulance extension was bolted to the rear of the body. I’m not sure of the configuration of those holes.

Perhaps at one time it has a M40A1 106mm Recoilless Rifle mounted or it was reconfigured to mount radios as your X Battery Marking generally indicates a battery Commander's Vehicle.

Anthony: Is there any remaining evidence of what was connected to the PTO? Is it a military PTO or post service addition?

Looked like a Princess Auto addition to me

Huh? And I drove through Moosomin ten days ago with my brother. I was pointing out the fact I once lived on Mullin Avenue in Regina, and Harry Mullin VC is buried in Moosomin.
