Default Morris portee

I need some explanations about the Morris portee.

According to David Hayward:

1) the original 2 pounder portee was based on the Morris 4x2 CS8 chassis

2) the Morris 4X4 C8/MG was derived from C8/QUAD field artillery tractor

3) the Morris C8/AT 2 pounder portees very similar to the Chevrolet FAT derivatives

On the contrary in the book of Vanderveen the author stated that the Morris Commercial C8/AT was a C8/MG modified to gun tractor.

Was the Morris C8/AT effectively an derived from C8/MG?

The vehicle in the photo of tank museum that i have posted here is more similar to the C8/MG. The shape of the mudguards (three piece flat) is very different from that of Morris CS8


This is an Indian Morris C8/MG
