Can any of our Aussie friends share any info regarding this picture?

Looks to me like a recaptured F15 taken in North Africa. I think they are German lights fitted aren't they?

Two more pictures of 13 Cab 15-cwt's in Normandy. I can´t tell if these are Fords or Chevs, however.

No idea if they are Ford or Chev, but the location is the city centre of Courseulles. The Parc with the wall next to it in the first picture, is now the parking lot in the centre of town.

The shapeless thing on the left of the photo is a Morris-Commercial C9/B SP Bofors gun - a very rare thing to find in a photo. I'd like to see a clearer copy of the photo if possible, where is it from?

Here is a original photo from my collection of a morris that i think is a C9/? taken in may 1945 at Sylt.

I think this is an F15A.

Picture taken during Operation Cannonshot at Voorst, Netherlands.

Not WW2, but still wartime for the Dutch and Indonesians.
