Davis,
Bedford did not manufacture GM branded vehicles. Bedford was a British company owned by GM but independently building and selling its own products. For export to Australia and associated markets they just exported the chassis and Holden added their own design and built cabs. This vastly reduced the shipping space required. I believe that the Indian and African markets were supplied directly from the UK so standard Bedford cabs were fitted as in the UK market but sometimes with left hand drive (presumably built for sale to a country that drives on the right).

You mentioned only lightweight Bedfords had long bonnet. This looks heavier than that to me. Second photo is a short bonnet currently every day driver for sale in Australia $9,500 which seems optimistic Lang Last edited by Lang; 12-09-18 at 02:41.

We had 3 three toners in long nose and a five toner in short nose, it also had a two speed diff.
I got my licence in a three toner by driving left around the block to save me having to use the turn arm on the door.

On your original photo I could not see the wheels and thought it was the K type 30cwt model but can now confirm it is a ML 2/3 ton model. The next size up was the O types which had the cab further forward. Here is a photo of an ML with Holden cab belonging to Lismore council in NSW. regards, Richard
