Hi John

Interesting comment from you. The MCC 15 cwt bodies I have bits of, have cast brass plates on them , announcing " MCC GS body Mk2 " or similar .

Id be interested to know if you have any details of where the bodies were made . May have been a case of the WD supplying the same drawings to various manufactuers , thats why the bodies appear to be so similar'. Mike
