It is name in local Iraqi language ( Al Ghchma ) which is mean the ( half face ) if we want to replicate or give synonymous for the name meaning in English , this 2 ton truck introduced first to Iraq by British troops in 1938 some stories said older than that and served during the WW2 , after that sold or scraped in Iraq but local people buy it and used and in the service till now before months I heard that Iraqi National Museum bought it because remain is only 10 out of 300 , the geographical location are in middle of Iraq south of Baghdad in two province only (Dewaniyah and Najaf ) used for transportation of agricultural and construction products ..
People there are very proud with it and made the maintenance by manufacturing it is parts or replace it with any closer to the origin..
