Now for something a bit different.  Can you name the makes of these three sisters for a point?

According to my source:
One is a Bedford. 
One might be a Canadian Chevrolet, but it could equally well be a Canadian Ford,.

Is the truck on the left a prewar GMC?

Yeah, the truck on the left is probably a Fordson WOT, as Bill says.

So from right to left: Fordson, Bedford and Chevrolet. What is missing ?

Taking the guesses in order:
The one on the left is not a prewar GMC
There is a Fordson there somewhere
The one on the left is a Fordson, I don't know if it's a WOT
From right to left it isn't a Fordson, because that's on the right, it is a Bedford in the centre, it isn't a Chevrolet on the left.  But it might be a Chevrolet on the right - but that's not the answer, because it also might be a Ford.

Ehh, I think the truck on the right is a Ford F8 Canadian Military Pattern truck.

That's it: a CMP, ie Canadian Military Pattern, but I don't know whether it is a Canadian Chevrolet or a Canadian Ford as my source didn't say and I can't tell the difference.  The point's yours.

The full answer is: from left to right  Fordson, Bedford and CMP
They are war surplus in the Netherlands.

That's the problem with multi-part answers!
I think I gave the point to Marmer as he provided the final piece of the jigsaw.  I'll give you one as well, Bill, as you sort of, answered quite a bit

Yes, I think that is correct.  I thought my points increased by one.  But I agree Bill should definitely have a point.

Thank you !
It's always complicated to manage a puzzle when there are several answers.
Marmer quite earned this point
