This picture with the playing children does not show the spare wheel mount on the left side.

Could the negative have been reversed, and this is the same vehicle in the crater seen in Pic #3 in post #8?

Tony,
I think that you are right. Spare wheel mount disappeared, front wheel turned to the same angle but opposite direction, front wheel is fully up rather than down, bracket on rear armour has changed sides and the road has moved relative to the truck. I blame it on the kids....

Tony and David,

Well spotted! I mirrored the colour photo, the rear door opens to the right now as well.

Thanks,
Hanno

Another photo of a C15TA at the same range, again by Edwin van der Meer.

It still looks in good nick here, but another FB user mentioned he had to blow up this truck with trotyl during his training at the Bernhard Kazerne in Amersfoort in 1981
