Odd Identification Request

[Marauder_Pilot]

OK, this may be one of the stranger 'What's this?' posts in recent memory, but bear with me.

I first stumbled across the CMP truck in a computer game called Company of Heroes (BTW, if anybody else here is into strategy games, CoH is awesome, and one of the few WWII games to recognize that, hey, the Commonwealth was there, too.)

In that game, the Commonwealth uses Command Trucks instead of bases, with two of them based on 13 Cab CMPs (Logos removed for obvious reasons, but I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be C15As):


However, the third vehicle (Armour Command) is based of something different:


Since you guys are a font of all things related to Canadian and other Commonwealth WWII MVs, I was hoping that someone here would be able to identify this truck. Any ideas, or is it just a generic design pulled out of a designer's hoo-hah?

The first appears to be a genuine C60 or F60 machinery type lorry, 6x6 while the second appears to be loosely based on a CCKW US type truck.

Both look speculative, at least with respect to the rear bodywork. If you start with the machinery body, assume it is modified to a command post, the chassis could be C60X and Diamond T. But that is speculation on my part.

Yeah, the rears are definitely custom, for obvious reasons (I doubt that the Commonwealth ever had a mobile, truck-mounted tank factory. ) but it looks like a Diamond T Tank Transporter, definitely.
