The top governed road speed of the Scammell was 24mph, Off road would of course depend on the terrain and with a artillery piece in tow even slower. Scammells were reknown for reliability and not speed. Cant find any info on there use with the commonwealth forces but i lay odds some were unofficially.

Here is a photo of the Leyland Bull Terrier 6x4 artillery tractor designed to tow the 3" anti aircraft gun, i have some where a photo of one towing a 3.7 AA gun, now that would make a 3 tonner grunt
