White is the designer of that style of halftrack all parts are identical (maybe not cosmetically) but are completely interchangeable
Between white Dimond t and auto car
The military needed more halftracks so they contracted with international harvester to build halftracks that were completely different
So the supply chain that was feeding the "white " halftracks were not overburdened.
If you are going to keep in this game you need to buy a set of manuals and a ord 9 book
There is a g number g102 for white or g147 for IH
So a part will have a g number a ordance number and a manufacturer part number the ord 9 will let you cross reference them
Some IH parts will work on white as well as scout car parts but they are limited.
I hope this helps

Thanks for your help. i did recently get the books. i did know the engines , parts, were interchangeable. This monster is a little harder to work on than my 42 WLA Harley.
