1945 Middlesex plate "allocated in blocks" so not re-registered ex-army. Lots of appearances after 13-00:

Not an MW but an OY. Still only one headlamp in the early sixties!

I think it may an OW or to be precise an OWL toowit toowoo .
This was a civilian version of the OY released to essential users during the war .
The rear wings and body look like standard Bedford and it has dual tyres. Could also be a conversion of course .

I didn't know about the OW, but it would make sense to make all front ends to the same standard to save time and material during war. I wonder why the OWB still used the civvy front?

Maybe to fit the bus bodywork ?

It was only the 5-tonner O-type that had the wartime 'Ministry of Supply' front end, the 1939-45 vans and civilian K-types and M-types also continued unchanged but in very limited numbers, production only being suspended at the start of the war but allowed to restart in 1941-2.
