Stewart,
An interesting beast the CMP "Maultier" but not the same - the UC Half-track was to have its steering unit mounted at the rear, so it would sort of resemble a miniature Mk.I tank of 1916 (which turned out to be of little use and were soon omitted). It was pointed out to the idea's proponents at DVA that the US Half Track (and if I recall the term "15cwt Truck, Half Tracked" was used) was readily available and would perform the same load carrying and towing functions for which the UC was being misused.
That said, in early 1944 a carrier and set of Ford spares were alloted to the project.
Roger
