geoff,
are these vehicles may be attached to the reginas?? The sign on the fender of the first vehicle ( 2 in white with a white band on top) sound canadian or british??
thanks

Luc,
I think that I may have identified the Bedford's unit and possibly the Morris Comm FAT behind (it looks as if it also has a 2 on the sign).
According to the landing info, I see that the Regina Rifles landed on Nan beach, also landing there was Bty 2 Royal Marines Armoured Support Regt. Now, looking at the very useful book by Jean Bouchery, "The British Soldier", the only unit sign with the figure 2 on is Armd. Support Regt. Royal Marines. The background colour of the sign is made up of horizontal bands, from the top; Blue, Yellow, Green, Red, Blue.
The white band across the top of the sign denotes Corps troops.
