During the war damaged vehicles were cannibalized for parts if they could not be towed to safe areas. Other vehicles that survived the war were probably pressed in to service in North African oil fields. I got these from a contact in Italy. His name is Giancarlo Negro. He said that these were found in Wadi Wassa, South of Gilf Kebir.
Last pic is engine block from destroyed truck.
