Owner, who provided the picture, indicated that it was early 40's war department (factory protection) fire apparatus. I believe these went under the designation CC300.

Someone else chime in if they know.

It appears to have the earlier, lighter front axle. It definitely has the earlier non-combat cut front fenders.
