Seeing this F60L in Dutch civilian postwar service working on the beach reminded me of this thread.

It offers a good view of what the 3-ton GS body looks like sitting more forward after the spare wheel holder behind the cab was removed.

I am now convinced these are 158” w.b. 3-ton trucks with roofless Cab 11 or 12 and the GS body moved forward with the spare wheel fitted to the side of the body.

And I am now pretty sure the LRDG Heavy Section did not alter the body, but that these trucks were delivered as such:
