I was looking at an old film of the International 4x4 being tested on Youtube,

At one point they are using a Leyland Martian 6x6 as an anchor point for the tensiometer while testing the Inter's winch. The ARN number of the Leyland was 88099 which I looked up, it looks to be a sole entry and probably sent from UK to trial. It may well have been a prototype as it has 'cycle' type front mudguards fitted to the pivoting axle, where the production ones used by the British had large box shaped ones. I see it was disposed of in the early 60's.
