Jon, the LAAT was manufactured by both Chevrolet and Ford, as fas as I can see only on the F30, C30, F60S chassis.

Attached is the manifest for the 15th Isle of Man Light Artillery Regiment for D-Day.
You will see (in column 10) that they had many LAATs and the Manx Museum informed us that they were CMP.
My brothers and I took advantage of there being more LAATs than guns not to have to find a Bofors.
Apparently they took the extra LAATs for their winches in order to be able to pull the Morris out of the ditch if necessary.
