Is the "15cwt Truck, Half Tracked" the Commonwealth name for the US M3 Half Truck? I would have thought they would have had a heavier rating, or is this manual really describing another type of Half-Track altogether?

Tony,

That is the War Office designation given to the International half tracks issued to British Forces, also Truck, 15 cwt, Half Tracked, Personnel.
