From the "AROnline" website: - Morris LD series 1952-1968 Also sold as Austin 1-ton and 1½-tonLaunched in July 1952 to replace the pre-war Morris PV, the LD series was initially available as the petrol-engined, 1-ton (20cwt), 235 cu ft LD1 van. One year later, this was joined by the similarly-styled 1½-ton (30cwt), 275 cu ft LD2, which was both longer and taller.In January 1955, the van received new front-end styling, and a diesel engine option was introduced for the 1-ton van, designated LD01. The next significant change came in April 1960, when a four-speed synchromesh gearbox was adopted; this saw the 1-ton models become LD4 (petrol) and LD04 (diesel), and in a similar vein, the 1½-ton models were renamed LD5 and LD05. As part of the cross-range redesignation undertaken in 1961, the models were renamed LD-M20 (1-ton) and LD-M30 (1½-ton), with the new suffixes denoting payload in cwt. Following the launch of the JU range, the LD was reduced to just one model, which was redesignated 260LD in 1968 and replaced by the EA van later that same year.

With the old Morris grille Morris LD Van was introduced for export only in September 1952, the PV van continued for UK sales until the LD for the home market started in July 1953.
