Collator ◊ 2015-07-28 00:17	Registration number, MXV 716, indicates that this Bedford M was new to the BBC which had vehicles registered MXV 701 to 725 in its fleet. Original body and use with the BBC unknown. The vehicle can also be found in other TV programmes, but fitted with a dropside body, with or without a canvas tilt, so after the BBC I guess it may have belonged to a company supplying vehicles to film & TV companies.

That one has ESU 367 plate which is a 1987 reissue - /vehicle_34215-Bedford-M-Type.html . As MXV 716 is now on something else (as above), the plate does not stop it being the same vehicle. But if it's a visibly different truck, that's fine.
