No!

Some 15 cwts were classified and bodied as "Vans", Fordson WOT2 was another, they were very similar to a normal MWD with canvas canopy. Again using the Vauxhall Motors publication as a guide, early models had what is described as a "cape cart hood" and lorry body with tilt, later ones had half doors and canvas top cab as normal MW models. One point of difference is the vehicle length, a normal MWD was 77.5" long whereas a MWV was 90" long, so it had a slightly longer overhang.
