Default Army Service Corps Sweetheart - Ambulance?

Hi,
Would anyone recognise this sweetheart brooch and why would ASC be on what seems to be an ambulance?

Thanks

Army Service Corps Motor Transport Sweetheart or OCA badge. No link to an ambulance that I can see. They do turn up and in my opinion are a nice badge of this type.

Simon.

Thanks for the reply Simon, looked like an ambulance to me but the MT makes sense now

My father's older brother was an ambulance driver in ASC motor transport. He died in France in 1918.

"MT" is more likely to stand for Mechanical Transport ?
