CMP / Chevrolet in Libya

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

Almost certainly in my mind this was one delivered under Demand S/M 2019, and allocated a Census Number in the L 1304xxx or 1305xxx series. Also possibly assembled in GM Near East, Alexandria or the depot there.

I can now blow my own trumpet!

I shall note that assembly date, June 16th 1941, as an indication as to when these S/M 2019 CMPs were received in Alexandria and assembled. Thanks for that marvellous piece of info!

This is also an interesting picture, showing where someone has souveniered the Canadian Body Builder's plate:

Considering how the surrounding paint has been blasted by the desert sands and the paint under the plate is relatively intact, the plate has been removed fairly recently (last 10yrs?).
