Igor; the fenders of the trucks used by the LRDG and as well those used by the Free French were widened by approx. 11 cm to accommodate the sand tires. They cut the fenders in the longitudinal direction and added a stripe of sheet metal then.

I have measured it myself at te fender of an LRDG Chevy 30cwt WA at 'Jebel Sherif' and I have seen the same "widenings" at a French wreck and also at the SDF wreck in the Egyptian desert (the one you have presented above).
