![[Image: 001640.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/001640.jpg) Probably also seen at Marylebone station in London therefore likely to be used as film production transport. |

'MMY 899' perhaps? USA/Canadian truck that ha seen some wartime use in the UK? |

MMY 899 was Middlesex Nov 46 to Feb 49, "allocated in blocks". |

that's Earndale station in London...cf pic. n°12 https://www.reelstreets.com/films/left-right-and-centre/ .gif ";)") so by deduction I would randomly say an English brand like... Leyland ? .gif ":)") -- Last edit: 2021-05-18 19:00:17 |

You didn’t read the write-up. It’s Windsor and Eton Station, in the town of Windsor, where HM the Q has a castle. “Earndale” is a filmic invention. I think that the truck is an International from the early 1940s, irrespective of its numberplate, but I am willing to be shown the error of my ways, should one exist. https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/829858668812179404/ -- Last edit: 2021-05-18 20:59:12 |

It looks very similar to the 1937 International Harvester D-series which was sold in the UK Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com" However the grille and bonnet sides are plain without the trim as on the International Harvester tucks generally seen. It is less like the wartime K-series which was in use under lend-lease in the UK. -- Last edit: 2021-05-18 21:45:10 |

1923-1939 International Harvester of Great Britain Ltd had an assembly plant at Liverpool close to the docks, importing and assembling products from the USA and Canada with some UK content; from 1937 this included International D-series truck assembly as well as tractors. A large works for full-scale manufacturing was built at Doncaster in 1938 with UK manufacturing starting in 1939. However almost immediately the factory was requisitioned by the Ministry of Supply for wartime production of munitions as well as continuing to assemble some USA truck chassis and cabs. From August 1941 at least 2,000 K-series, assembled in the UK, were assigned for civilian use under licence from the UK MoS. |

I'm not giving up this early, so after some more intensive searching I found an almost identical grille hood (bonnet) and cab...![[Image: ihquery2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/ihquery2.jpg) Problem being it's not definitely identified, but (probably) as an International Harvester K8? And the link is broken from http://www.autogallery.org.ru/gintern.htm Whilst there are a lot of similarities the grille on the K8 looks more upright to me. |

Wondering if LHD (suggested by single wiper) or RHD (too many paper discs in windscreen for driver side??). Mismatched headlights. |
|

Agreed, LHD by the wiper, our other UK examples had single wiper on the other side. /vehicle_870720-International-Harvester-K-Series-1941.html /vehicle_847974-International-Harvester-K-8-1941.html US/Canadian built, but not US Army, possibly ex-USAAF? |

iirc, the law insisted that the tax disc and “C” licenses had to be displayed in the lower left side of the windscreen to facilitate their examination by the police when parked, irrespective of where the driver sat. -- Last edit: 2021-05-20 00:03:01 |

Here's the plate, which is indeed MMY 899:![[Image: 1518349_001651-plate.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32612/1518349_001651-plate.jpg) |
