Some of Fords were fitted with Chevy banjo type differentials because of early Fordones issues and production shortage, however if you go through period LRDG photos you will find both types of differentials used commonly

similar of today's f-150 pick-ups w/gun-turrets.this unit is the front-runner of the 22nd special-air-service(sas)-regiment.

Surely some early production Ford CMPs were fitted with GM axles, for Ford has certain difficulties with establishing their own axle production plant. There was even an early batch of 47 F15As with mixed axles (Ford front axles and Chevrolet rears). However, talking about those LRDG mounts, on the popular picture of the Y6 truck of Y patrol it is very well visible the front axle is Ford split type. An interesting detail on the same picture: there are towing shackles on the front bumper, what is typical for Chevy CMPs only.

Looks nice.

Sorry, but if the "popular picture of the Y6 truck of Y patrol" is the same one posted below, I think that's simply a black & white pic of one of the incorrectly assembled reenactors vehicles. Certainly there were F30As with their own Ford axles, but these were the very first ones made with wooden cargo bodies (never seen in LRDG Fords, instead fitted with the 3A1 steel body) and the later Cab 13 ones. If anybody knows these real WW2 pics, please post or link to them as I would love to get that cleared.

I guess you could be right indeed http://www.lrdg.org/desert_raiders_newsletter.htm Here are 2 more views of the very same truck (nicknamed "Aramis" ) : War & Peace Show (2008) : and here's a WW2 picture of the original "Aramis", with the corresponding caption from the IWM website : "Portrait of Captain David Lloyd Owen with Private 'Tich' Cave on the back of the 30 cwt truck behind, outside the Farouk Hotel in Siwa. Lloyd Owen joined the Yeomanry ('Y') Patrol of the Long Range Desert Group in mid 1941 and went on to lead it after..." H.P.

Will be added to the stash...

This is definitely a must have, another great looking Mirror Models kit.
