I don't know about saleability in the UK, but if I found a cab 12 in that condition here (Ottawa, Canada) I would be the envy of many.
First the easy part, the 15 cwt cab 13 GS listed as about 7400 lb empty. I am guessing, but don't think that the cab 12 was that different for weight.
About the body, I would expect to see a 2B1 body on a cab 12. The 2B1 is an all steel body with folding sides and open, square wheel arches. This is what I think I see in your first photo of many trucks. I don't know when the transition to 2C1 all steel fixed side, with closed, square arches took place to comment on whether it would be appropriate on a cab 12.
I think the 2A1 might also be possible on cab 12 since the transition 2A1 to 2B1 seems to have happened at about the same time as cab 11 to cab 12. Others may have photos to prove the existence of this combination or documents to say it never happened. 2A1 was wood and steel composite with round, open arches.
The body on your truck looks most like a 2H1, wood and steel composite construction with closed square arches.
In any case it looks like you have found a marvelous starting point.
