CMPs - where are they now?

[Larry Hayward]

Guys,

I'm not sure if I added this photo to this site before but I know JPW 931 it is supposedly alive and well in Suffolk but I am not sure who owns it.

From the little I know it has an early steel body, which with a No12 Cab dates it to Canadian production circa 1941.

I'd be interested in details of the body type and when it was produced and the ultimate destination of such vehicles?

Although I have attached a photo of it in use in the Sicily & Italian Campaign, it is still quite a rare vehicle in WW2 photos and of course now in the UK.

Does the L number tell anything or is it made up?

Any info on its history greatly received.

Lastly on the WW2 vehicle in the B&W photo, what is it that appears slightly above the front wheel and behind the front fender that is not present on JPW931?
