Default 1956 Bedford

Which model is this please? The shot was taken in 1956, and beggars the question when the Ministry of Supply finally disposed of WW2 flat-fronted Bedfords?

The latest provable date was a MW in the film CARRY ON SERGEANT of 1958, but surely they did not last on until the early 1960s?

As an example, one surviving OY was not disposed until 1959. I would not be surprised to see the odd Bedford soldiering on into the 1960s in secondary roles, such as army base hack, TA, etc.
