This is an example of a rebuild...note civvy axles. The rego appears to be Southend on Sea, Essex Borough, late 1946 possibly, which explains the use of the blackout light?
The big problem with reusing the original lamp holes on # 13 Cabs was that it was difficult to find headlamps to fit thereinto, and far simpler as well to plate them over and mount new lamps on brackets. They also seem to have got smashed a lot from period shots when they were rebuilt post-war and then used on the road.
