Strange captured vehicle

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

To me those tyres on the water truck appear to look almost new, or at least in unworn condition. I thought that that might suggest that the wheels were indeed transplanted.

Would the water tank etc. have been purloined off a 4x2 1939 Chevy I wonder?

Yes, that is what sprung to my mind, as it reminded me of a picture I saw on this forum (will look it up later).

Definitely not factory fitment, so it is either of local assembly or a field modification.
