eLMeR ◊ 2020-02-20 05:14	@ Jale: A CMP (Canadian Military Pattern) for sure. Which mean either a Chevrolet or a Ford truck. As Chevrolet, existing models were: • C-8A (4×4 - wheelbase: 101" / 2.56 m); • C-15 (4×2 - wb: 101" / 2.56 m); • C-15A (4×4 - wb: 101" / 2.56 m); • C-30 (4×4 - wb: 134" / 3.40 m); • C-60S (4×4 - 134" / 3.40 m); • C-60L (4×4 - wb: 158" / 4.01 m); • C-GT (4×4 - wb: 101" / 2.56 m). As Ford, available models were: • F-15 (4×2 - wb: 101" / 2.56 m); • F-15A (4×4 - wb: 101" / 2.56 m); • F-30 (4×4 - wb: 134¼" / 3.41 m); • F-60 (4×4 - wb: 115" / 2.92 m; 134¼" / 3.41 m; 158¼" / 4.02 m); • F-60H (6×4 - wb: 160¼" / 4.07 m); • F-GT (4×4 - wb: 101¼" / 2.57 m). Whatever the make, the number indicates the "ton-rating" in cwt (hundredweight / centum weight), a British unit (apparently also used in USA and Canada, but of course with a different value ): • 8cwt → ⅖ ton. • 15cwt → ¾ ton; • 30cwt → 1½ ton; • 60cwt → 3 ton. As I often say, I'm not good at identifying wheelbase lengths, especially when the truck are seen from afar. I'm sorry not being able to help more...
