If I'm wrong you can be sure there'll be a post after this very quickly! Hopefully with more info for you as well.

G'day Tony,
I did not take any photos of the Fordson, however I did a quick google search and came across one - first good photo was of an Army truck!
The site also has some technical details about the truck (
http://www.armyvehicles.dk/fordthames.htm).
There has been one for sale in Just Trucks with a missing left headlight. The one close to home had its right headlight missing.
The one for sale in Just Trucks is located in NSW in February was for sale for $500 the truck I looked at was a 1954 Fordson Thames. I have seen NSW Fordson frequently in different issues of Just Trucks.
Regards
Lionel
