Looks like a Bedford to me, TJ at a guess.

Is TJ confirmed? Only asking because I can't find another in our collection.

The TJ series was originally the J series, so that's how they are listed:

Ex Wikipedia

"The pre-war K, M and O types continued in production alongside the heavier S types until 1953. Vauxhall had already gone for a transatlantic styling with its E Model Wyvern and Velox saloons, and Bedford followed suit with its mid-range of trucks in 1953. Designated as the TA series, the new range were mechanically very similar to their predecessors, but featured a new Chevrolet-inspired cab. The 'T' designation meant "truck", so the range is generally referred to as the A series. Numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5; as in A2, etc., identified the weight rating. A factory-fitted Perkins diesel engine was an option. The TA (A) series was updated in 1957, and became the TJ, or J series.

The Bedford TJ normal control light truck was introduced in 1958, available with either petrol or diesel engines. Although never a big seller in the home market (with the exception of the GPO), it was a big export earner in developing countries, due to its basic layout and specification, and remained in production (for export markets only) until production of Bedford vehicles ceased."

So safe to go TJ here? Should someone who knows their Bedfords (which ain't me) try pulling out more TJs from the J collection?

Not a Bedford J but an A type confirmed by the two part windscreen and wheel-arches without any flared edges.
