Looks like a Pattern 11 or 12 with the top and windshield removed. At first I thought that it might be a Pat 13 because of the flat aspect of the doors to the body of the truck but on looking closer I think the left door is part way open what makes me think it is a Chev is the shape of the overflow tank, what little of it can be seen.
But what throws me is the front hubs it almost looks like it has the later stile lift flanges. Cheers Phil

My first guess was a cab 11 or 12 but on closer inspection the hinges are on the front of the doors so it's a cab 13. It's a 4x2 15 cwt with the 2B1 box so it'll be a 1942 model. The front hubs are about the same size as the rear axle flanges so it's a Chev. The overflow tank says cab 13 Chev too.

On enlargement and re-examination of the photo I think you are correct about the door hinge location and the water recover tank. Plus that little item at the top rear of the door is in the correct location for the door latch handle. Which would make it a Pattern 13. A higher resolution version of the photo would show more detail. Whats your guess 2 or 4 wheel drive? Flat line of the front axle would seem to me to indicate 2. Interesting puzzle Keith. Cheers Phil

This photo is a recent discovery, during WW2 the canterbury motor company in Kent were employed as a army school of mechanics. In the main they dealt with Rootes group products but as this photo reveals instructions were also issued on CMP trucks, see the No 12 cabs along the back

Les, that's a great example of the theme "In the background".
