Default sling caps CMP trucks

Hi Cliff,

the later war ones fitted with the sling caps makes sense. the F15A I had that had them was Sept 1944 build based on the data plate.

Cargo nets under the wheels seemed to be the go earlier in the war as the attached photo shows of a vehicle being unloaded in Singapore. Perhaps a few rotted cargo nets and dropped vehicles gave rise to the later method.

Cheers,
