Hi Sturm:

As far as I can tell, the first truck is indeed a White/Indiana. The early 4 ton 6X6 trucks are hard to tell apart sometimes as they used a lot of the same cab and motor hood assemblies and differed mostly in the motor and transmissions supplied. White/Indiana made them, also Autocar, Marmon-Herrington and I think Corbitt also.

The second vehicle I believe is an early GMC ACKW 2 1/2 ton 6X6 of 1939-1940 or so.

Here is a photo of an Ex-French Contract example that was later supplied to Russia and the UK.

Hi Sturm:

Your last photo is a Mack NM 6, the early version with enclosed drivers cab. Later they were all open cab as you can see in the photo here.

Hi Sturm:

Sorry, I was a bit lazy. I should have indicated the correct number instead of an early version of the NM 6.
