Ok, CAT VII covers vehicles, then part (d) directs you to CAT III and CAT
IV. Were the trucks SPECIFICALLY designed to cary palletized or loose boxed
ammo or explosives? Were universal hard points designed in? Only way to
tell would be to see the IFB on the original truck design proposal, ie what
did the spec say when the design spec went out?
But then they can fall back on CAT XXI--Miscellaneous Articles, which
just about let's them do anything they want.
All I know is that when I sell my M35A2 to someone else, I have to
notify the DRMS among others and make sure they are a US citizen. Sounds
like it's on A list of some kind. Probably because it had the Machine Gun
Reinforcement Kit added to the cab?
Below are the relevant parts (at least as far as I understand them),
reproduced for your reading pleasure:
