Like nearly all the US-sourced WW2 Dodges, David.

I believe at that time they were all shipped in one piece, with protected windscreens and the like. My WC 56 was 306th Bomb Group and was probably issued to them in the US and freighted into Greenock autumn 1942 with the ground echelons and support staff. It could have been freighted in bulk and issued here, but no evidence for that.

It had standard USAAF stuff, or rather it didn't have the stuff the army put on after issue, like rifle brackets, jerry can carriers, and the like. It was more distinguished by the stuff that wasn't there - silly, eh? Stuff like jerry can carriers would have been fitted by the using arm, but the running boards on my truck were never drilled for them, either at the factory or by the using arm - fairly unique in that respect.

The truck in your photo looks pretty much the same.
