HELP WITH NOMENCLATURE/WW2/dodge

I seem to recall a discussion concerning what the WC stands for as used to
refer to WW2 Dodge trucks. Also, what is the meaning of the VC series?

The explanation, was, I believe, that the use of the words "Weapons Carrier"
was only correct for a certain style of these trucks, and that the WC was
only coincidental. The "W" stood for something (War contract?) and the "C"
stood for (the year?) Or was it the "W" and the "V" stood for certain
years, and the "C" stood for (something?)

I have been reading an "official" Chrysler article about wartime production,
and they have got a few other things wrong, so I would like the correct
info.

Can an expert offer any guidance here?
