Perhaps not blasphemy .... after all, both the Cab 12's horribly cramped cab and the Corio trailers 'over engineered' design owe their origins to British War Office 'thinking', albeit at different times.
Richard's comments about the mudguard are interesting: the Land Rover mudguard (series 2A for Aust Army) was developed as a result of trials experience with mud building up between the wheel and rounded mudguard, and the small space being too tight to clear out easily. Perhaps this is another instance of that?
