Hi Phil,
The photos that you posted in post #44 are all models of Austin trucks of WW2. I would guess that they were made by Austin to fill the same role as the Rootes Group ones but they are nothing like the quality.

For the benefit of anyone who doesn't know, the Rootes Group was Humber, Commer, Hillman, Karrier, and Sunbeam. Post war it acquired Tilling Stevens and Vulcan but was gradually taken over by Chrysler who got full control in 1967.
