    I believe that is a late model M35A2 or possibly M36A2 Deuce and Half. I recent visited the Israeli Airforce Museum outside of Be’er Sheva and took a great number of pictures of the truck in questions. The M809 series truck has a different battery compartment on the passenger side, as well as the fuel tank seen in this picture located on the drivers side. What’s amazing is the amount of weight the system likely weighs, on the 2.5 ton truck frame.
