I was unaware of a wheel option to give the low-load height but they were popular for brewery deliveries. -- Last edit: 2021-09-14 21:51:36

However the movie vehicle looks slightly different in the above bumper area and I think could be a later fully engineered Leyland version. The extra thumbnails are not that clear but probably are standard Leyland T45 rigids (simple trucks). -- Last edit: 2021-09-15 12:19:48
