C15 no12 cab: blackout lights?

[odwillys]

Hi All Can anyone tell me whether C15 no12 cabs had the rubber black out light fitted? I have 4 of them NOS but cannot find many pictures of either 11 or 12 cabs with them fitted so wonder under what circumstances they are appropriate ?

Couple of factory photos Bob, showing the rubber lights in position front wings left and right and on the rear right. There is also one on a sightly longer bracket that bolts on to the frame cross member to shine on to the rear diff. All models were fitted with them the front picture is a 15cwt 4x4 the rear picture is a 60cwt

Hi Bob

Here is a photo of another style black out on a Pattern 11 Ford

Now the question, was this a civilian, or Canadian Military, British Military headlight unit?

I'll have to do some digging to see I can find a date for the picture.

Phil, I like that spare wheel carrier. Not seen that one before.

What does it say on the door? Radio Canada?

Great stuff, keep it coming!

I'd guess at the shield on the drum light may be a British commercial vehicle type possibly CAV, is that a British civilian reg plate on the bumper ?
