Thanks to John R., we now know where this MWD migrated to: http://www.mvcg-lr.com/en/2010/03/06/137/. It has been backdated, sadly.

The OY with lockers under the body, is now in Sussex, England. There was some speculation as to the purpose and use of the body, but I recently came across a photo of it in an early copy of W&T, taken at a Keep 'em rolling event in Holland, the caption said it had served in a Dutch fire brigade. This makes sense as it has stowage for things like axes in the underbody lockers, and bench seats for crew in the body.

Maurice,

If the Census number on the door is correct, it is the first vehicle of a contract for petrol tankers. I have never seen anything like this body before, the stowage lockers under the body are unusual. Maybe it was modified after leaving military service.
