Is this a M-H conversion?
The Ford 1942 Dagenham listing states that the S.Africa searchlight trucks were either of two models:
W0T1: 'Ministry of Supply (S.Africa D.F.) Searchlight Lorry (Aux Gear Box) N.C. 6 wheeled Sussex Long Bogie 7 3/4 in articulation 9.00 - 20 [tyres] w.b. 143 1/2 + 42 7/8 in' with searchlight body by outside supplier.
E917T [same as before]. However this was a 1939 Model so had the '39 front end compared to the W0T front end.
The Build Plate would in theory have the standard Ford Motor Co Limited, Dagenham, plate.
I have yet to confirm that Dagenham produced the 22 and 30 HP V-8s and did not import them...I assume that they did from 1936 onwards.
