Found this interesting photo of an open topped CMP taken in Asmara, capitol of Eritrea, 1st April 1941. What is the spec. on this early CMP?

Thoughts
I am hopeless at identifying but if there is what appears to be a front guard with supports front and back of the bumper bar, then it is on the face of it a Chevrolet. However, having plainly failed to see the lack of a front diff, it must be as Rolf suggests a 15-cwt. On that basis they cannot be Chevrolets I believe as there were no #11/12 Cab deliveries to the Mid-East of C15 chassis. If they are indeed Fords then they are to S/M 2002. either one of a huge delivery shipped to Alexandria for assembly, and then roaded to the R.A.O.C. workshop at Wardian, starting in January 1941, or one of the 500 delivered to Mombasa, Kenya. I am still puzzled about those tyres!

my guess
is that it is a F15....
It is a cab # 12 with the alligator hood and missing the inner window frame..... It looks to me that there is no driven front axel, the Rad guard behind the bumper. But then again the tyres seems as 10.50......... Rolf
