It looks manky enough to be a J2. |

I'm guessing its registered '647 BXY' to '671 BXY' by zooming in. 1961 Morris J2 GPO Telephones, sliding front doors and GPO special fitment glass-fibre, two rears instead of single rear door. https://www.britishtelephones.com/vehicles/lightvans/221.htm |

Never seen the GPO vans with yellow roofs before, Scottish addition? I thought something looked different at the back,now realise it is the twin doors. -- Last edit: 2020-07-04 16:24:29 |

Weren’t those roofs a translucent glass fibre material rather than painted yellow? |

Think you are right. Maybe just the back is yellow as rest looks grey or maybe it is all same colour and yellow a trick of light. -- Last edit: 2020-07-04 18:19:00 |

The whole of the roof is fibre-glass (except the cab itself) as here https://www.britishtelephones.com/vehicles/lightvans/pict0017.jpg The roof shape is quite different from the rear - a simple flatted curve with less obvious shape to the sides compared to the steel panel. Extra yellow paint at the back looks convincing in the movie; less so, the trick of the light? Later edit after seeing it afresh; as a result of the film's poor quality and contrast its likely it is weathered unpainted fibre-glass. -- Last edit: 2020-07-05 13:12:02 |

Blue/white Husky S2 further back; black next to it facing forward might be Commer Cob S2. |

Quite an involved conversion to the J2 ,you would think they would just buy a van with double rear doors! Government buyers ! -- Last edit: 2020-07-04 19:43:40 |
