Mostly Grant ARV. Very common in pictures from Normandy.
CDL eventually mounted on redundant Grant Chassis.
Grant Scorpion Mine-flail used in Sicily and Italy.
Standard Grant/Lee served on in the Far East, Certainly right up to '45 in Burma.

'Leftover' M3 chassis also used for:
M31 TRV.
M33 Prime mover.
T10 'shop tractor' (American CDL)
T1 Mine exploder.
Yeramba. (Post-war Aussie 25pdr carrier)
Many redundant Chassis used as test vehicles for concepts from flame-throwers to new engines, seen as plentiful, handy, and disposable.

same running gear but not necesarily rebuilds:
Ram. By extension of that, various ARV's & Ram Kangaroo/
Priest.(M7 HMC)
Sexton.
M12 155mm GMC.

Waste not Want not.
Sure I've missed a few.
Take that Squander Bug.
