    Armour is not my thing, but it looks like a British Light Tank MK V1B with the turret facing backwards.

      Does anyone have a view on post 1269?
      How about the base vehicle of this wood burner?
      Thanks for looking,
      Kerry.

        I realize I am asking a lot to identify a truck from the grille alone, but perhaps someone is clever enough to do so:

          Hi OSS:

          I am reasonably certain it is a Ford, most likely a V 3000S German variant as shown below.

            Brilliant! I think you have nailed it.

              I am stumped on this one. The bonnet louvres look Ford-like, but the right-hand drive and the radiator do not.
              Thanks,
              Kerry.

                Hi Kerry:

                Most likely a Skoda Popular of about 1935 as we see below.

                  Thanks once again for an excellent id Bill,
                  All the best,
                  Kerry.

                    Here is what I think is a 6-wheeled ambulance, possibly French? The camouflage and some damage to the print make it difficult, but, I hope, somebody will be able to identify it.
                    Many thanks,
                    Kerry.

                      Hi Kerry,
                      Why 6-wheeled ?
                      This is Renault AFB, and i thing the effect of length of the vehicle on the photo is in cause that the back door is opened.

                        I believe Patrick has this one correctly.

                        The AFB had a quite long overhang/length behind the rear wheels which in a photo like this can give the impression that there are two rear axles instead of one.

                          It was the overhang and some damage to the print, which "suggested" the shape of another wheel. So, another mystery solved, thanks again,
                          Kerry.

                            Hello again,
                            Bill, having been led by you and Patrick to the answer, I think my photo is of the type AFB 2, rather than the AFB 1 you show. In the process of upgrade the front wings, radiator and bumper were altered to a more military aspect. I do not know if the designation is correct, but those are the titles given by Vauvillier in "L'automobile sous l'uniforme".
                            Cheers,
                            Kerry.

                              Hi Kerry:

                              Very possible. I used the photo I posted as it was the best one I had in my doc file that showed the overhang/length of the rear body.

                                You are right Kerry, your photo is AFB2, I did not specify it because I did not consider useful.
                                On the other hand Bill's photo is not one AFB Renault, but Citroen 11UB.
