1943 Austin Ten Light Utility Truck

Right on almost all counts Don.

"Trafficators" is an old word, formerly used over here to describe the winking indicator lights. The word isn't often used now - except by old farts like me! They wouldn't have been on this car originally because when the car was new they hadn't been invented!

You're absolutely right about the M3 halftrack and US Army tents creeping into the side of the shot.

The car would certainly not have had an interior mirror fitted, but neither has this one. The object in the windscreen is a label of some sort, not a mirror.

Thanks Don. I'll leave Terry to talk about the details you raise in case I get ít wrong.

It's a good-looking vehicle. I presume that the "trafficators" are the amber lights on the bumper? A good, descriptive word, but not one that I recall ever hearing in the United States.

Would the rear view mirrors have been on the original vehicle?

I think I spy an M3 Halftrack, a small wall tent, and a GP medium tent in the background.

This was an enjoyable puzzle. The flag, the yellow bridge classification plate, and the 49th Division and Artillery Regiment formation signs all helped me get started on the solution.

Thanks again for the puzzle, Ferret, and for the image and explanatory notes Terry.
