Default Can anyone identify the car in Tunisia

Can anyone tell me what make and model of car is seen in this photo of British & US troops inspecting some Roman ruins in Tunisia?

Oh and am I right in thinking the truck on the left is an Austin K3?

Larry,

I think the lorry is the Austin K2 as wheelbase looks shorter than the 3 ton K3. as for the car, I think it is of US manufacture, it is definitely not a Humber Snipe for sure.

Default Chevy

1938 Chevrolet I believe, assembled by General Motors Near East Limited in Rue des Ptolemees, Alexandria.
