Which is default, 980 or 981?

From Wikie-
Hard top cabs 1940- Aug 1943 thereafter canvas tops.

980 -rear winching only 1940-1942
superceded by-
981- front and rear winching capable 1942 onwards.

So :think: more likely hard top cabs were 980's ( but some were 981s )
All canvas top cabs were 981s . Assuming no cab change of course.

(Easy way to tell is 981 has a hole for winch cable in front bumper but not seen here )

So likelihood this is 980.

Only three Diamond T fairground trucks are known in the UK Fun Fair Lorry Photo database:

LNK 839 J. Manning BW

JKX 237C Charlie Beach BW


Assuming they used real ones and just changed the livery for the movie, it might be one of them. I don't know if that helps, but it was worth a try.

That database is limited to the photos the chap has copyright for.
The info could be useful but
there were dozens of various model Diamond T 's with showmen .

Staffs County Council had several similar Diamond Ts for years, which were used as gritters. iirc they were registered LRF (2/46), and disappeared when the M6 opened. Presumably they were ex WD vehicles. Astridge’s removal van in the background is a Fordson 7V.
