A rare beastie that I've never seen other pictures of besides this one in the book .

Garry..
The FWD HAR and SU- COE models were built by the FOUR WHEEL DRIVE COMPANY.... In Clintonville ,Wisconsin and Kitchener, Ontario..
They were both 4X4 in 4-5 ton range and built like proverbial "Russian Bull"...
Here is the listing on the HAR from my web site so Canada had these trucks during WW2..
I have the SU- COE Model manual also ,but not listed.
