LRDG Ford 15wt question

[Scott Cacciamani]

I'm trying to find out the origins of the 1940 model year 15wt trucks that the LRDG first used the North Africa. These are civilian right hand drive 1/2 ton 2X4 pickups. I thought they were purchased new from a dealer, but re-reading my old references i can only find a reference for the early Chevy 30cwt trucks. It is said that 14 of the Chevys came from a dealer in Alexandria and the rest from the Egyptian army. I have also seen some suggestion that the 15wt Fords came from the Egyptian army. If so they would have been purchased new in late 1939 or 1940 as they are 1940 model year trucks. If anyone has photos or documents of any civilian style Ford 15wt trucks in the Egyptian army i'd love to see them.
thanks scott
