Default I have the manual for the T203B

The T203 VF 1.5 ton was made in the US for the US Army, after which they made the T203B export batch, all during 1940 I think.

I don't know of any US T203 trucks that got outside the US, though samples may have. The T203B was built for export, but is only a 1.5 ton and not a 3 ton, though much of the sheetmetal and so on looks the same.

There were a number of technical differences, such as the T203B only having one type of front axle universal joint, and a brake servo.

Could it be a GMC ACK-353 (Truck, 1 1/2 ton, 4x4, Cargo GMC)? I can see this being mistaken for a 3-ton Dodge. . .
