No , esta es la primer cabina, la que denominan Monkey Face.
Luego siguio la CAB 13 , la más conocida.
Dicen los popes, que la cabina monkey face era estrecha y que la inclinacion del parabrisas , permitia el reflejo del sol y que podia delatar la posicion de la tropa propia. En el norte de africa es donde surge este reporte y es por eso que luego diseñan la CAB13

Gracias Mariano por tus comentarios.
Si se habla de la 1° cabina, entonces fué el verdadero antecesor del Canadiense ó nó ?
El chasis y motorización quedaron igual ó se modificaron totalmente ?
Este de la foto pareciera tener rodado más chico, es así ?

Tengo una wifi muy lenta, pero creo que este resumen respondera tus preguntas.

Chevrolet
Oshawa/Walkerville/Regina

1939-

"General Motors" concern Canadian branch located in the province of Ontario produced its autos under "Chevrolet" trademark. It started military vehicles development only when WWI started. This activity was started in cooperation with "Ford" Canadian branch on the order of national military department. First prototypes were built in September 1939. In spring 1940 the company introduced the vast gamma of unified military autos of various classes with several cab types, front fascias and numerous body types. They were based on parts of mass-produced commercial autos manufactured in Canada and USA. They got common name "Canadian Military Pattern", short - "CMP". Standard type of military truck made in Canada. "Ford" and "Chevrolet" autos had similar appearance. Apart for badges and several parts. Yet they were equipped with different power units and chassis parts. Canada, the Commonwealth of Nations member, supplied them primarily to British armed forces stationed all over the planet. They were also produced in Australia, New Zealand, India and Egypt. Besides "Chevrolet" Canadian branch manufactured upgraded variants of civilian pick-ups and trucks series "1500" used to carry ammo and armament.

"Chevrolet" military produce consisted mainly of CMP family including 5 basic chassis with 4x4 and 6x6 wheel arrangement. They all were equipped with 6-cylinder gasoline engines (305 l, 85 h.p.) designed back in 1929, single dry plate, manual 4-speed gearbox, hydraulic brake drives (heavier models featured vacuum booster), solid axles spring suspension, single-tyre wheels and 6V electric accessory. All-wheel-drive models were equipped with single- or two-speed transfer, and front selectable axle built under license of "Marmon-Herrington" company. 1940-1942 models were equipped with open cabs No.11 and No.12 (with removable top) with quite a complex config of short hood and front fascia designed in style of similar British autos. 1942-1945 models got simplified cab No.13 with flat front panels and backsloped windscreen. Some trucks used some more cab types: No.41 - No.11 simplified variant for India, No.42 and No.43 with lengthened hood and open 4-seat No.43S

"Chevrolet" CMP programme was initiated with light multi-purpose C8 (4x4), industrial index "8420", and C8A (8445) 4x4 with 400kg payload, 2565mm wheelbase and 13 and 16-inch diameter at rim seat respectively. They are known mainly with enclosed staff, ambulance and cargo-and-passenger bodies. С8АХ (8448) airtransportable variant was shipped for assembly in New Zealand. All in all "Chevrolet" and "Ford" assembled about 13,000 autos series "8". The second family of 750kg payload consisted of multi-purpose models С15 (8421) 4x4 and С15А (8444) 4x4 with 16-inch tyres. The first CMPs shipped to England in autumn 1940 were C30 (8441) 1.5t trucks with cab No.11, 4.5m metal body with tent, 16-inch tyres and 3410mm wheelbase. Simultaneously the reinforced chassis C60S with 20-inch tyres was produced. It was designed to carry special equipment and armament. C60L (8443) long wheelbase variant featured 4020mm between the two axles. All these autos made up to 90km/h. CMP only 3-axle truck, С60Х (6x6) was produced under "GMC" trademark. In 1940 short chassis (2500mm) with 20-inch wheels was used to launch production of light artillery tractor - CGT (8440), FAT OR "Quad" 4x4, that had practically no difference from similar "Ford" model. It was equipped with brake vacuum booster and rear winch. It was equipped with various full-metal cargo-and-passenger open top bodies, side doors and indigenous windows in roof shallow panels. In the very end of war it was replaced with simplified body with canvas roof. Light armoured cars based on truck chassis were produced under "GMC" trademark too. All in all "Chevrolet" and "Ford" produced more than 350,000 CMP vehicles including 209,000 trucks series "60". In post-war years "Chevrolet" produced pick-ups, vans and trucks similar to American models

It included F15 (4x4) and F15А (C011WQF) 4x4 models with 16-inch tyres while the latter was equipped with single-speed transfer, and front selectable axle built under license of "Marmon-Herrington" company. These chassis were used to install various bodies, vans and equipment of all kinds. Till the end of 1945 "Ford" and Chevrolet" manufactured about 103,422 autos series F15. F30 (C29GF) 1.5t trucks with 3,410mm wheelbase were in much less need: in 1942-1945 19,319 items were made. CMP most mass one was F60 3t truck series - 209,004 items were made by both companies. In 1940 F60S (C01QF) 4x4 short-base version with two-speed transfer, brake drive vacuum booster and 20-inch wheels production was launched. A year later - F60L (C298QF) truck with 4,020mm.

Simultaneously F602S (C29WFS) and F602L (C298WFS) multi-purpose rear-driven trucks with dual final drive and cabs No.13 and No.43 were produced. "Ford" produced small amounts of F60Н (C010QF) 6x6 3t model gross weight about 9t based on 4x4 lengthened chassis with additional third dead axle. It was mainly used to mount various vans and repair equipment. In 1941-1945 FGT (C291Q), FAT or Quad light artillery tractor based 4x4 chassis with 2.5m wheelbase was produced. It got winch, 20-inch tyres and various open-top cargo-and-passenger bodies assembled by "Gotfredson" Canadian branch. "Ford" made 22,891tractors in cooperation with "Chevrolet". In Australia and India trucks chassis shipped there were used to mount armoured bodies and Borbette SPGs with solid wood armour.

In 1942 Canadian "Ford" program got Lynx-I and Lynx-II (Ford-II or C29SR) 4x4 light armoured recon cars made under the pattern of British Daimler Dingo differing with fully or partially armoured bodies with armour plates up to 30mm thick.
