Folks,

First of all, thanks for all the answers, and especially to Mark for the background to the ID flash. I guess I had a hope someone would say "Of course! The RCD's characteristic (insert obscure detail)!" or some other units marking idiosyncracies would be visible. Of course, expecting an ID from a couple of seconds of film was a long shot to say the least.

John McGillivray's suggestion that this is a 3rd Mntn Bde vehicle took me a bit by surprise. The Bde did indeed have 3 otherwise unidentified "Armoured Cars" in its Field Artillery Regt, but I've always assumed they were Otters. I think that the presence of the flash rules it out as an option, as it was not an organic part of the Corps- for example, 2nd NZ Div also served under the Corps, but their vehicles lack the red-white-red. Also, the Bde was equipped in the summer of '44, after the flash was discontinued. However, as Greek WW2 military markings are a very confusing subject, it would probably be premature to reject any idea- and further digging will be rewarding anyway!

Once again, thanks for the help.

Aris
