Derek, we looked at Ford chassis codes in this thread. The standard C11A cars/wagons had 6.00-16 tyres, as did too the C21A. The -DF indicates that the vehicle is fitted with 9.00-13 tyres and is RHD. Note that the scale drawing you have provided the vehicle is described as a C11AD, and is therefore a LHD, as drawn. The C11ADF were 1941 models.
Great thread Tony, helped explain the chassis codes for the Ford stationwagon. "What once was old is new again." A lot of the information I had was gleaned from The Encyclopaedia of Weapons of World War II originally published by Amber Books of London. Just goes to show how one needs to consult several authorities on the subject matter at hand in order to get the greatest accuracy of information. I'm relatively new at restoring vintage military vehicles, my C15 being my 2nd and I've realized how little I know of the subject.
