Is that the Flying Wing to the upper left of the Cargo Truck?

I believe so. You can also see the Flying Wing during the scene where the Germans are yelling Sallah to come down the hill, while Indy is down in the map room. It's there in the background, airfield and all.

Introducing vehicles later to be used in the story like this earns my respect. All to often, especially nowadays, movies just jump from one scene/episode to the next without much continuity between them.

Because I'm a weirdo and I study scenes like this long and hard. I was actually hunting for any trace of the Nazi lieutenant who just pops up before the desert chase begins.

I remember noticing that when I was a kid and thinking that poor truck had no idea what it was in for.

Well, hey, apart from the ripped canvas, smashed windshield, missing door, bent grille and broken-off hood ornament it survives relatively intact. The same cannot be said for the troop car. That vehicle won't even be recognizable upon hitting the chasm bottom.

I always liked to think that Sallah kept that truck and drove it around/used it after Raiders.

If that's the case, he can give it to his brother-in-law. He never did get to keep those camels.

The black Mercedes? Where? Are you sure you aren't confusing it with this:
Which would be the troop car that went off the cliff, not the staff car. Unless the black car is also there, somewhere else in that submarine pen and I haven't spotted it.
