Oshawa build
Cliff, both of the photos are official GM of Canada photos, the top being 1940 Model 1543 1 1/2-tonners uprated to 3-ton military rating [same as the 1941 Model US-sourced YR Thornton-Houlder....1 1/2 ton but rated at three tons by the War Department. There were also various diverted GMCs that the WD took over, and they also used Thornton rear-drive], and the bottom a 1543X2 CC60LX2, with British-designed body? The latter photo was I think taken outside the back of the Oshawa Plant..I recognised the background..and the top one seems to have been photographed in a park or similar as those trees feature a lot in official shots. Both photos were from the GM of Canada war album.
