Thanks Alan; I'm glad both Richard C-S and I were wrong! It's strange how a small Dennis lorry can look that big! (and modern
)
Here are two Flickr pictures, to confirm Richards comment on the LMS lettering.

I do wonder what would have been the solution if the tanks had been too wide.

Ask zzee Germans. They had a set of extra (narrow) transport tracks for the Tiger I in order to prepare it for rail transport...along with removing the fenders and the outer wheels. (the Tiger I in Saumur is on the narrow tracks)
Modern Leopard tanks have thick side armor with hinges. These can be moved out of the way to allow them to be transported by rail, without damaging trains stations along the route.
