The trucks are mid 70s 5 ton M800 series with the Cummins 250 diesel. The old GMC M135 would not have safely carried a ferret as it would be pretty close or over the maximum highway capacity. Cross country capacity would be half of that.

They are not traditional call signs on the vehicles. There should be two numbers designating the squadron, then the troop, followed by a letter for the vehicle's position within the recce troop.
