Davis,

Bedford did not manufacture GM branded vehicles. Bedford was a British company owned by GM but independently building and selling its own products. For export to Australia and associated markets they just exported the chassis and Holden added their own design and built cabs. This vastly reduced the shipping space required. I believe that the Indian and African markets were supplied directly from the UK so standard Bedford cabs were fitted as in the UK market but sometimes with left hand drive (presumably built for sale to a country that drives on the right).
