As the book is about ex-service vehicles actually being USED Post-War, here's an image, which shows the ABUSE (not to say sheer bloody vandalism) that some vehicles have been subjected to.

sorry,
Maultier versions are nowhere to be found in civil use. Our books deal only with civil use of Softskin versions, a Maultier never struck our path.
