Cliff,
Thanks for pointing out the wheelbase differences. Very clear, once you got me to looking. "1st and 3rd appear to be WB Chevs..."? I assumed all WB were one wheelbase and WA's another? Here's a crop of the front of the second vehicle. Maybe the vents below the serial number will suggest more about the make to you or someone.  Yours, Mike Powell

Census Numbers
L 39000 to 39515 were 133" wheelbase Chevrolet WA lorries for Egypt, My information has it that the LRDG used 19 1940 WA lorries assembled by GM Near east in Alexandria. Further, 14 were supplied by the Egyptian Army.

Ah so it looks like trucks 1 & 2 are 1940 WA Chevrolets with 133inch wheelbase and the 3rd is a 158.5 inch WB.
What looked like a headlight on the second truck is not as shown on the enlarged photo.
