I suppose the headlamp on that carrier would help prevent it from rolling onto it's side.
We still had a very old RCAF water buffalo when I was at MooseJaw in the early 90s for waste fuel. I think it had the RCAF numbering system on it.

The Deuce is interesting. A very bald tire on the front left, an almost bald tire on the intermediate left, and a almost new trak-grip pattern tire on the rear left. Guess they didn't get the memo about the rears supposed to be the relatively same size.

The cargo box on it is different from any that I have seen. It is missing the angular re-enforcement over the wheel wells. It also seems to have a straight up exhaust stack, missing the curve on the top of the Cdn trucks. I wonder if this was an early purchase from US stocks?
It also has some funny mirrors, but likely a locally sourced improvement over the little 5" round mirrors that came standard on those trucks.
