British army trucks of the 30s. Identification
 

The pictures probably show some maneuvers or training.
1. Thornycroft A3/FB4. Behind them is an Austin 7 passenger car.
2,3. I identify this truck as Guy BAX.
4. The first one on the right is Guy BAX, the third one is Morris Commercial type D. And what is the car between them? In the front, in the center of the frame, there is some kind of massive bracket supporting a spring or wishbones (it is hard to see). It was not possible to find the truck by this design feature.

It turns out this is also a Guy truck. Very intricate front suspension :eek:

The photo shows Crossley IGL trucks. The one on the far left differs in many details: spare wheel mount, rear view mirrors, radiator mask, position of parking lights, etc. According to http://www.crossley-motors.org.uk/hi...IGL3/IGL3.html there were six Crossley IGL models - from the third to the eighth. IGL 6,7 and 8 - forward control, IGL 5 - experimental model. What models are shown in the photo? The one on the far left is IGL 3. And the other two cars? IGL 4?

Mobile workshop. What car chassis is used? I assumed it was a Thornycroft A4, but there are some differences. So I'm not sure.

1. New Zealand Army Mobile Searchlight Unit. What kind of truck is this? A Leyland Retriever? The front wheel has eight mounting points, while Retrievers typically had ten. Or is this an export model?
2.An early New Zealand Army Leyland Retriever. The front wheel clearly shows the 10 mounting points.

Romanian army truck. Looks like a Morris-Commercial, but without the roll bar (sorry, I don't know what this part is called in English) and on narrow wheels. What model could it be? CS11/30 or WD 10/40 ?

I think the term you are looking for is "radiator guard" ? As you say the Romanian one does look as if it was delivered on much narrower tyres but has been fitted with bigger ones onto the original wheels. It must have been a struggle to fit them as I doubt that the original rims are two piece split rims like the standard WD wheels in your last photo.

You are doing very good work bringing all these photos together in one place. It is a very ignored subject, partly because there are very few of these trucks still in existance. Of course many were lost at Dunkirk and the rest were worked to death.

Hi David.Thanks for your comment.
I think I made a mistake because of the poor quality of the photo. The "Romanian" truck has exactly the same wheels as the original.
Oddly enough, there is very little information about English military vehicles. For example, even such a famous vehicle as the Leyland Retriever remains a mystery to me.

I can't figure out what kind of car this is?
Fordson Ten (10НР, Мodel C) with a radiator mask from Fordson Eight (8 НР, Мodel 7 Y)? Inauthentic restoration or was this car produced for the army in this form?
1.Fordson ?
2.Fordson 10HP ( Model CX ) 1934-37.
3.Ford 8HP (Model 7Y) 1937-39.

The logo on the radiator mask is hard to see. It is probably a Crossley. The truck itself is very similar to the Crossley 40/50 HP model 1923 from Vanderveen's reference book (1974 edition).
