The "W" is for dual rear ends as you describe.

They had many models:

ACKWX
CCKWX
CCKW
CCW
DUKW
AFKWX
AFKX
ACK
DAK

I did hear it stated that the W was specifically for ' twin rear axles on
an inverted leaf spring ' but I've no idea if the inventory included any
other twin rear axle arrangement at that time.

I've always imagined that is should have been DAKW (with the A for
Amphibian) and then someone said over coffe break ' if we call it U for
Utility rather than A for Amphibian it would sound like a duck......'
