Default CMP Water Bowsers

Picked these up the other day, and thought folks might like to see them. My suspicion is that these are post war, based on the light colour scheme and absence of markings. Unusual to see so many water bowsers together, especially with the late model Thompson Bros. british water tanks fitted. Also what looks like a Bedford QL at the back of photo 3.

The third (and possibly seventh) truck along in photo 3 looks like it may have the earlier oval pattern british tank fitted?

Not sure of the location. The second truck in photo 3 has a registration plate fitted. I believe 'CD' used to be the registration code for Brighton, on Britain's south coast. But the letter/number format seems odd. Could they be trade plates?

They all show some text written on the windscreen, but I can't make it out. Could be my eyes, but it looks like the headlight glass is missing?

Wonder where all those water filters and hand pumps ended up?!

Owen.
