The cab roof is possibly from the higher and wider normal Thames van, possibly also here. The body itself does not look like the usual body which I think was common to the 1½ and 2-ton vans and did not require the wide wheel spats. -- Last edit: 2021-11-09 12:58:18

Sunbar ◊ 2021-11-09 13:16	Yes JCB. Agreed about the thumbnail, only the main view looks slightly odd.
