I've attached a few early war pics of a lorry carrying a treching conversion.   Painted in the pale blue all guns and vehicles wore at the time,  I think these pics date from 1915.  Can anyone identify the lorry make ?

Hello,

In french manual "Ecole de mines-supplément au livre de l'officier"-January 1917 edition, I read:
The "Excavateur mobile Legrand, Normand et d'Haille" is mounted on a truck of the model "Trois tonnes type Packard à chaînes", power: 34 HP.
Yours sincerely,
Guy François.
