Davistine,
Thanks, a nice example of the many variants Commer built. I think this bus is based on a
Forward Control Q chassis.
See
http://tardis.dl.ac.uk/ARCC/catalogue.html#commer for a full list of types built by Commer (part of the
Rootes Archive Center).
The site lists the following wartime Superpoises:
Quote:
Superpoise Q Series (1939-54, built at Luton) in 2-3 ton, 3-4 ton and 6-1/2 ton pre-war models.
Q2 2-3 ton (1939-41, 1946-48)
Q3 3-4 ton (1939-45, 1946-48)
Q4 4-5 ton (1939-45, 1946-48)
Q5 6-1/2 ton (1939-43, 1947)
Q15 15 cwt van (1939-49)
Q25 25 cwt van (1939-49)

Other than that, they have very little information on military Commers on their site, though, and only one picture captioned "Commer Q4, Ministry of Supply, Archive Centre Luton Collection."
