It's not unlike the Morris-Commercial CDSW: http://carblueprints.info/eng/view/morris/morris-commercial-cdsw-30cwt-6x4 but the truck body and sidemount are different. Could be modified in twenty years or so, though. |

Yes I think it is a CD from around 1936 -- Last edit: 2013-11-19 11:50:21 |

I think this is Dutch army vehicle,who allso used a similar type of helmet to the ones above,they allso used the model before this one the D type and in the left hand corner in the main picture the vehicle in the corner seems to be a D type,with the headlights mounted on a bar going across the grille.The footage above might have been shot in the Dutch east indies.The British army seems only to have purchased this version of the CD in 1932,then in 1933 started purchasing the CDF model,no imformation has far as I known exists on this version of the CD in service with the Dutch army or any other army. |

I believe it is an earlier D type rather than the CD by the flatter less rounded front wing shape. Morris Commercial D Type ^ the vechile in the lower left hand corner referred to looks to be a completely different vehicle probably a car as the side mount and headlight are a lot lower and about the same height. -- Last edit: 2014-10-18 11:17:07 |

Can confirm footage from the Dutch east indies after comparing pictures of churches built in then Dutch east indies with the one what can be seen in the background in the two smaller pictures,so Dutch army types.The Dutch army brought D types in the mid twenties so they would have different wheels to the ones above.The CD type was a improved version of the D type with several different features including the wheels,the ones above have these wheels making them CD types.The picture sunbar highlighted appears to be a export model to India going by the type of metal grille in front of the radiator,but I,am unsure what type it is. |

Parfait. And thanks for giving the origin of this footage, rattle_on. (Many different civil war situations were used and patched in the opening sequence, very difficult for me to discriminate.) |
