The only clue as to its previous use is: On the grill , is hand painted "Q 5 " in large size script .
Hi Mike,

Yes, that contract was for several different body types, but the Cat. Ref. No. on the Contract plate narrows it down from what I found in the Chilwell list, 209 is the Truck, Chemical. Now this type of vehicle has come up before, seem to think it might have been something to do with washing down in the event of chemical weapons being used, could be a bit wrong there, but sure someone will know.
