that body appears to be a close relative of the ubiquitous British 15cwt GS body that was built in various forms 1934-45. Some of the MCC variants feature a trap door like opening over the rear axle diff region. The Canadians tended to simplify the design , and Canada went over to the all steel type very early on , it took til around 44 for the British to build a steel version as on the C8 .Just think of all of the trees and forest they used up . The British wooden bodies have myriad bolts and fittings ..like a mechano set.

The GS remains I have here were made using 7/8" boards.
